How do I list Inherited Property Sale? It was a combined home sale between six siblings.

Did you each get your own 1099-S or did you get one with one amount of income that you will split?

Basically, you would report this as the sale of a second home and you would divide the basis, sales price, and expenses of sale between the six of you.

@Groves65

The sale of an inherited home is considered an investment sale and you need to enter this info in the investment section of TurboTax.

Yes, you could use TurboTax Deluxe if you use the CD\Download version.
No, you won't be able to use TurboTax Online Deluxe version,. You'll need to use the TurboTax Online Premier or higher version.

Whenever you sell a capital asset held for personal use at a gain, you need to calculate how much money you gained and report it on a Schedule D. Depending on your situation, you may also need to use Form 8949. Capital assets held for personal use that are sold at a loss generally do not need to be reported on your taxes.

The loss is generally not deductible, as well.
