After checking the list of current issues under investigation, I did not find one related to the calculations on Form 1040 Schedule H.  The first step in requesting a correction is to examine a diagnostic tax file experiencing the situation.  You can provide a diagnostic copy of your tax data file so that someone here can take a closer look.  The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.     If you would like to provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using and what states you are filing in a follow-up thread.  It would be helpful to have a screenshot of the token number to prevent it from being redacted.   Use these steps if you are using TurboTax Online:   Sign in to your account and be sure you are in your tax return. Select Tax Tools in the menu to the left. Select Tools. Select Share my file with agent. A pop-up message will appear, select OK to send the sanitized diagnostic copy to us. Post the token number here.

To report this sale, you'll navigate to the rental property section of TurboTax to indicate you sold the rental, 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.

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?
