Interest income received from a seller-financed loan must be reported on Schedule B.  In addition to what DoninGA mentioned, these are some additional steps:

 

  1. Log In to TurboTax.
  2. Under the Income and Expenses tab, scroll down until you get to "Interest From Seller-Financed Loan", then click edit.
  3. The next screen asks, "Any seller-financed loan?".
  4. If your answer is yes to the question above, it will take you to the Seller-Financed screen.
  5. Under the Seller-Financed screen, enter the buyer's name, address, SSN of the buyer, and the amount of interest the buyer paid to you.
  6. The interest amount will be transferred to Schedule B of the 1040 form.
