Where to Enter Sales Info on Sale of a Rental Home

We have a rental home we sold in 2019. We purchased the home in 2007 and it was our primary home until we moved and turned it into a rental in 2010. I entered into turbo tax that I sold the rental home but I cannot find where to enter the sales price and profit made. Below is what I have entered:

 

- Review Your Rental Summary

- Sale of Property/Depreciation

Date (Made a rental): 09/01/2010

Asset Type: I- Residential rental real estate

Cost: 129,748

Land 22,748

Prior deprec. 21,740

Business %: 100

 

Select Yes if item was Sold: Yes

Date of Sale or Disposition: 10/31/2019

Date Acquired: 10/19/2007

Special Handling Required? I answered Yes because this was a rental home and one of the options is “This asset was a rental, a home office, or a home office improvement within a home”.

 

Then it just gives me the depreciation value and states “we’ll transfer this amount to the correct form for you.”

It never asks me for the sale price of he house or realtor fees or loan amount or amount of profit. Am I supposed to add this somewhere else or does it not matter for tax purposes that there was a small profit made on the sale of the house (even though we lost money every rental year and it was an overall loss).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

When working through each individual asset, you are presented with a screen titled "Special Handling Required?". If you click *YES* on that screen you will ***NOT*** be asked for sales data, because you are telling the program that you did ***NOT*** sell it.
On the "Special Handling Required?" screen you *MUST* click the *NO* button.
