Section 1244 stock gain, how do I enter for a 1244 stock sale gain and receive the benefit of the IRS 50% gain exclusion.
I received a cash distribution from the sale of a small business in which I owned 1244 common stock held for 15 years. I have Turbo Tax Home & Business (downloaded version) and I can not find a way to file for the Section 1244 50% capital gain exclusion.

Go to the Personal income tab ... the investments section and follow the screens to enter that sale ... you will see these as you go along ...

This transaction will need to be set up through: Business Items Sale of Business Property Choose the second list Sales of Other Business Property where it lists one of the bullet points that you sold property at a loss and choose the yes box. In the drop down list for "Type of Sale" under "Tell Us About Your Sale" the Section 1244 option will be there.

When I selected the Section 1244 option it told me not to enter them there, but in the "stock sales topic of investments". However, I can't figure out how to enter it there.
