Does the Self-Employed version of TurboTax handle the sale of a property?

Yes. The way you enter the sale depends on the type of property you sold. For example, a seller who has owned and used a home as a principal residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years before the sale can exclude from income up to $250,000 of gain ($500,000 for joint filers). TurboTax will help you determine your exclusion.

 

To enter, follow these steps:

  • Under the Federal menu, choose Wages & Income
  • Expand the menu for Less Common Income
  • Click Start/Revisit next to Sale of Home (gain or loss)
  • Enter the information on the screens that follow

If you are referring to the sale of a different type of property, please update the forum so that we may guide you.
