bought and sold a house in 2019

I bought a house in 2019 and fixed it up and sold to my grandson in 2019. Where do I report this using Turbotax Deluxe?

Please read this TurboTax Help article on how to report the sale of a second home.

Did you make a profit on the sale? If not, you do not report it at all (unless the closing agent gave you a form 1099-S).  The loss on a sale to relatives is not deductible. 

 

If you did get a 1099-S, follow the instructions for sale of a 2nd home. The loss on the sale of a 2nd home is not deductible, whether sold to a relative or not.

 

For others reading this; "house flipping" is not usually treated as the sale of a 2nd home (sale to a relative is what makes this case different). See https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/tax-issues-regarding-flipping-of-a-house/00/48178
