You have a loss after holding the land for close to 50 years?
The loss can be deducted as a capital loss provided the land had been held for investment purposes.

This is great, the problem from the beginning is the new programming by TurboTax which does not allow any entry to change or add. Total loss of time and money.

In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in Home & Business)
- Wages & Income
Scroll down to:
-Investment Income
-Stocks, mutual funds, Bonds, Other (Real estate is other)
Answer no, when asked if you got a 1099-B. then follow the interview. When asked if used for business or rental, check "other investment purpose"

Was there personal use of the land? Did you intend to use it for personal use, or was the intention for investment purposes?
Still have questions?
