In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in Home & Business)

- Wages & Income

Scroll down to:

-Investment Income

-Stocks, mutual funds, Bonds, Other (Real estate is other)

Answer no, when asked if you got a 1099-B. then follow the interview. If asked if used for business or rental, check "other investment purpose"

Because these types of sales are considered investment sales, you need to enter this info in the investment section of TurboTax. Select the product you’re using for the right instructions.

You’ll have to use TurboTax Premium or Desktop/CD to report the sale of a second home, an inherited home, or land.
