State of CT OP-236 Sale of Home/Rental Property

[cesposito09]

I sold a house in 2019 in CT and paid CT state tax under Form OP-236. How do I account for this in Turbo Tax (Premier)?

Yes. Typically, a rental property sale would be reported in TurboTax Premier or TurboTax Self-Employed. Click the link for more information about how to report the sale of a rental property for regular sellers.

We are presuming you are a regular seller. However, OP-236 for Connecticut is used by grantors. If this property was owned by a trust, the sale of the property should be reported through the trust, which would be reported on Form 1041 Schedule K-1. If you do have a trust, but report trust details directly on your tax return, then there is no concern for the property sale to be reported on Form 1041 Schedule K-1.

Please post again if you have more questions about how to report the sale of your rental property.

I am a regular seller. So, I should just report this as part of the Sales Expenses, correct? After reviewing the closing documents, the transfer tax on OP-236 is included in the total closing costs.

Yes.  You can report the taxes paid as part of your selling expenses.
