My rental property was vacant thru May 1, 2020 so I didn't have any rental income.
TurboTax is giving me an error because it doesn't accept zero as an income amount, so what is the solution.
I evicted a bad renter in mid 2019 put tens of thousands of dollars into fixing it and then it took almost a year to sell. during this time I had utility, maintenance, etc. costs and took three trips to check on it and maintain the property.
I used the Income / Expense section which kept deleting the rental due to the zero income but finally got it to work and the program transferred the information the the Sale of Business Property section. But it fails a check on line 4 (Royalty) of the Income section of Schedule E.
Is this a bug in the software or is the zero income bump the rental into another category while I was trying to sell it?
thanks
