Investors & landlords

Yes, you would record the sale of your rental in the Rental Properties section of TurboTax. All the information from the previous years (loss carryovers, depreciation, etc.) would be reflected in the sale.

Please see the following TurboTax FAQ:

Per IRS Publication 527 Chapter 1 page 4  Vacant while listed for sale.

  • If you sell property you held for rental purposes, you can deduct the ordinary and necessary expenses for managing, conserving, or maintaining the property until it is sold. 
  • If the property is not held out and available for rent while listed for sale, the expenses are not deductible rental expenses
