You aren't doing anything wrong - there is no obvious place to add just the sale of the home by itself in the rental section, instead, you'll navigate to the property info to indicate you sold it, and go to the assets and indicate here the assets (including the actual house) were sold. The interview will populate questions to determine the correct capital gain. When you sell your rental property, follow the steps to report the sale found here: I sold my rental property. How do I report that?, with the selling expenses you asked about being reported in step 10:   "To report the sale of your rental property, follow the steps below: Go to the rentals section Answer Yes to the question Did you have any income from rentals or royalties? (You may not see this question since you have had the rental already entered) On the Your rentals and royalties summary page, select Edit (pencil icon) beside the property you sold. Select Edit (pencil icon) next to Rental property info. Under General info, select Edit under Situations (or on the page Tell us about your situation this year), then select Sold or disposed of property.  Continue through the screens until you return to the Here's your rental property info screen. Select Edit next to Sold rental property or Sale of property/depreciation. Go directly to your asset summary and select Edit beside the first rental asset you sold. Continue to the page Tell Us More About This Rental Asset and check the box for The item was sold... Enter the date of the sale in the pop-up box. Follow the prompts to enter the sale information, including the sales price and selling expenses you calculated above. Continue back to the Rental Asset list. Repeat steps 9-11 for each rental asset. Continue back to the Property Summary page. Select Done/Continue and answer any follow-up questions."  

A 2024 W-2 cannot be reported on a 2025 tax return.  You will need to file a 2024 tax return and enter the W-2 on that return.   To complete and file a 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2024 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I tried changing the county info over and back, no success.  I cleared cookies.  Nothing.  TurboTax won't let me delete the relevant forms.  When I try to delete any of them, it says the form was deleted, but it still remains on the list.  If I clear the cache for TurboTax, will I have to enter all my tax information again?  I'd rather just leave it alone and fill out the IN return myself than do that.

That is the correct tax treatment. The amounts reported on Form 1099-DIV in box 2a "Total capital gain distr." are supposed to flow to Schedule D Line 13 "capital gain distributions;" you don't have anything to worry about. 

Did you pay the original tax due?  You should not amend until the first return is processed and you pay the tax due.   Yes you need to pay the orginal tax due.  You don't get the full amount back.  You either get a refund on the amended return or owe more.     The amended return will only be the difference you get back or need to pay. You can confirm this by printing your amendment and looking at the 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 21 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16 (but don't include any penalty on 1040 line 38). If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.    

No.  I gave up in frustration and used FreeTaxUSA.  It's a similar interface, was able to upload a pdf of last year's tax return and it autofilled most things that carry over.  I have a rental property, and it was able to correctly fill in most of the depreciation numbers.  I checked everything by hand to be sure and I think it's ok.  Saved $150 too.  Looks like bye bye Turbo Tax for me.

Edit per dmertz reply below:  A Form 1099-R that reports a distribution - only part of which was rolled over - cannot have code G in box 7 because code G means that the entire gross amount was rolled over.  @frenzel  [Edited 03/08/26 | 8:53am PST]   I believe you're looking at a worksheet called "1099R Summary." Can you instead share the amounts that are showing on Lines 5a and 5b (or 4a/4b if an IRA) on Form 1040? Thank you.
