Deductions & credits

In TurboTax Desktop Premier I was able to report a sale of a second home as a personal loss not deductible from ordinary income.

  • If you go into the Wages and Income section of your return,
  • scroll down to investment Income.
  • Select Stocks, Mutual, Other
  • Did you get a 1099-B, no
  • Tell us about this sale. 
  • At the screen, Select any less common adjustments that apply, Any loss from this sale is not deductible... is an option.
  • This is personal use property (like a vacation home) is an option.

IRS Publication 544 under Personal-use property states:

 

Loss from the sale or exchange of property held for personal use is not deductible.
