Deductions & credits

Kathyrn,

 

in turbo tax deluxe using miscellaneous like you described

there is no information on description of item, what you sold it for and what you purchased it for.  

 

I believe you can do this on Premier and higher versions of turbotax .  generates on form 8949 

 

I was tinkering around with deluxe version and see that you can get a form 8949 generated if you list for example ebay in the stock, bonds section.   there questions they ask are sort of catered to selling stock.bonds and not some much to items but when transferring to 8949 , it seems to work out... put same amount however, so it zero out because otherwise generate a negative number and that is claiming loss on person items(not allowed)
