Where is search box in turbotax?

Warren-Lee — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 19:02:56 GMT

I am trying to find where to add the sale of a second home in TurboTax Premier, but there is no obvious place to enter it under investments, only for the sale of a primary residence. The only answer I have found online refers to using a "search" function within TurboTax to locate the proper section, but that must be for an online version ... I cannot find any "search box" in TurboTax Premier ... is there one, and if so, where? Thanks.

I can confirm that I am not using the online version ......

I can confirm that I am not using the online version ... I am using local installed Premier version ... there is no "find" in any menu ... so, where is the search box for the installed Premier version?

You icon here shows you are using the online version. The search function is a box labeled Find right in the upper right of your screen.

The second home sale is under investment Income, using the very first topic of stocks, mutual funds, etc. You would say you did not receive a 1099-b, ad then the next screen asks for the investment type and the first choice is second home..

Good, it's so much easier to use the installed version.
Just click on federal taxes at the top of the screen, then click on wages and Income below.

If you see a screen asking how you want to enter your info, choose enter it yourself.  If you don't see it, that's fine, you can just begin scrolling down the income topics list.

Scroll down to Investment Income, select the first subtopic of stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc.

Go through the questions there and you'll say you did not receive a 1099-B for this sale.

The next screen is where you choose the type of investment you sold and second home is the first choice.

The Find window, by the way, is not in a menu. When you...

The Find window, by the way, is not in a menu. When you are looking at any screen that has Personal info, Federal Taxes, State taxes, etc, across the top, all you do is look over to the right in the same line as all those topics and there's a long, narrow window with the word Find at the end of it. The window and word Find are just above the words Smart Check

Give me the steps to find the search box, PLEASE.

I need to fix line 30 on my return. It refers to the recovery rebate credit.

To get to the stimulus questions in TurboTax at any time, you can search for stimulus or recovery rebate credit then hit ENTER and there should be a Jump to link

If you are trying to trigger it,

Click on Other Tax Situations at top

Click on Let's get started

Answer some questions then Continue

Then click on Let's keep going

Next screen is for the Third Stimulus, if you qualify

On my computer in the upper right hand corner of the screen at the end of the third row down task bar is a magnify glass icon with the word "SEARCH" written after it. Just click the 🔎 icon.
