I need to enter Basis for gain or loss by trading car. I calculated and I have loss of $10780. Since I need to enter a number with 100% of basis, how I can enter my loss?

Leave 'Basis for Gain/Loss' blank.

Once you enter your Sales Price (or Trade In Value), Cost of Vehicle and Prior Depreciation (or Depreciation Equivalent, if you used Standard Mileage), TurboTax will calculate your Gain/Loss and put it on Form 4797 for you.
