Turbotax is including forms for rental property of which I did not rent in 2020, but it never asked, and doesn't show how to remove.

I did rent in 2019, and it turbotax seems to have pulled this property into my return for 2020 without asking.  It is saying I have error in my rental property forms.  I want to remove the forms for 2020 completely.

What did you do with the property? Convert to personal use? Sell it? Gift it? 

 

You need to account for the property if one of these situations is true. If you converted to personal use, then you need to keep track of the depreciation that you took for when you sell it. You will have to recapture that depreciation. You should make sure that you have copies for back up.

 

If you enter the rental section, you can indicate that you disposed of the rental, however you did so. Enter that you had zero rental days and that you did not attempt to rent it. The program will advise you to delete the form.

Thank you this was helpful, and helped me navigate to where I could remove the property.
