Sale of rental housse

[VanceRod]

I sold a house I had rented to my daughter with a promissory note with monthly payments. 

Do I enter the sale in "interest earned on a sale of property" or "sale of a business property?"

When you sell a house with a promissory note and receive monthly payments, you should report the sale under "Sale of Business Property" if the house was used as a rental. This ensures the sale and installment payments are correctly reported.  Additionally, you need to report the interest portion of the monthly payments as "Interest/income Earned on a Sale of Property."
