Investors & landlords

I believe you mean that you purchased stock and the stock became worthless in 2020. If so, you would report this as a sale of an investment in TurboTax as follows:

  1. Income and expenses
  2. Investment income
  3. Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other
  4. Indicate the you didn't receive a 1099-B form
  5. Choose the I'll enter one sale at a time option
  6. Enter a description, date acquired, date sold, sale proceeds as $0 and the cost basis as the amount you paid for the stock
