Investors & landlords

You won't be able to import Form 8949 into TurboTax but, you can enter the information in TurboTax, that's on the form so TurboTax creates the form.

 

Form 8949 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets) records the details of your capital asset (investment) sales or exchanges. Part I of the 8949 shows the short-term transactions (held less than a year) and Part II has the long-term transactions.

  • When you enter investment sales or exchanges in TurboTax, we'll automatically fill out Form 8949 and transfer the info to Schedule D. You don't need to fill out the 8949 yourself.

To enter your investment sales (the information on Form 8949):

  • Open (continue) your return in TurboTax.
  • In the search box, search for investment sales then select the Jump to link in the search results.
  • Answer Yes to the question Did you sell any of these investments in 2021?
    • If you land on the investment sales summary screen , select Add More Sales.
  • Select Other then Continue.
  • On the next screen, select the type of sale you had (like second home, collectible, or land) and Continue.
  • Continue following the onscreen instructions to enter the sale.
