Opus 17,
Re, "The "sale of your home" section is used for the sale of a home where you lived. Property that was never "your home" (your personal residence) would be handled as an investment, as you ended up doing."
I cannot find that information anywhere in the Business software I bought.
Re, "It's entirely possible to live in an inherited home before selling it. I suspect in that case (although I haven't opened the software to check) you would enter the date acquired (because a date is required in that field) but there would be another field for "how was the home acquired" and the choices should include purchased, gifted, and inherited, and that will make things work out ok."
I opened the software to check and it's not there. TTax could explain early on and clearly that this form should not be used if the house was not a personal residence after death.
And another odd thing to me is why they have questions to arrive at the basis of the inherited house if money was spent for the estate to acquire the house. Not sure what costs there would be for that. We had costs to sell ours, but not inherit it.
