Investors & landlords

Please follow these steps to enter you stock sales:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “investment sales”
  3. Click on “Jump to investment sales”
  4. TurboTax will walk you through entering the sales

TurboTax will calculate the gains and losses for you. If you had a net capital loss (more losses than gains) then you can deduct up to $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately) against your regular income.  Any capital losses you couldn't deduct this year can be carried forward and deducted on future tax returns. This is called a capital loss carryover.
