Thank you. I did that. I think the issue with realizing the loss is that TurboTax advises to classify this as a second home and once all that information is entered, you get a screen that says "sorry, you cannot claim a loss on a second home." It's not a second home. I didn't live there.  When I change the investment type to other land, it realizes the loss.  Here is the question and answer in TurboTax:

Where do I enter the sale of a second home, an inherited home, or land on my 2024 taxes?

Because these types of sales are considered investment sales, enter this info in the investment section of TurboTax.

You’ll have to use TurboTax Premium to report the sale of a second home, an inherited home, or land.

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Navigate to the sold second home screen:
   • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to sold second home.
   • TurboTax Desktop: Search for sold second home and select the Jump to link.
3. Answer Yes on the Did you have investment income in 2024? screen, then Continue.
   • If you land on the Your investments and savings screen, select Add Investments.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
