    If the property was never rented then it would be an investment property.

    To enter an investment sale other than from a brokerage account (1099-B), follow the steps below.

    • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
    • Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
    • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
    • Under Investment Income
    • On Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other, click the start or update button

    Or enter investment sales in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to investment sales

    On the next screen, click Yes

    On the next screen, click No

    On the next screen, choose the option that pertains to the type of investment sale you are reporting and continue with the section until it completes.
