You made a personal loan to the person who subleased the room in the house that you are renting. The only amount that you would enter would be any interest that was paid to you when he paid you back. If no interest was paid, there is nothing to report on your tax return.

If you were paid back with interest, you  can enter the interest as miscellaneous income in TurboTax:

1. Open your return in TurboTax 
2. Click on Wages & Income 
3. Scroll down to All Income 
4. Scroll down to Less Common Income 
5. Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C 
6. Click start 
7. Scroll down to Other reportable income 
8. Answer yes 
9. Enter interest description and amount
