I sold a property in another state. I have owned for over two years. Where do I input this information for my taxes.

This would be a sale of an investment, assuming it wasn't used as a rental or other business activity.  Have the cost, selling price and purchase/sale expenses ready for your entry.

 

To enter your sale in TurboTax, follow these steps. Start here on the federal and then look for the section in each state return.

Click this link for more information. Where do I enter Investment Sales?

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the investment sales section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to investment sales. If using this application, make sure it is open
    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for investment sales and then select the Jump to link.
  3. Answer Yes to the question Did you sell any of these investments in 2024? (or Okay! to Time to kickoff your investments!).
    • If you land on the Investment sales summary or Your investments and savings screen, select Add More Sales or Add investments.

State Returns - Assumes both states require income tax returns to be filed: Prepare the nonresident state first.

  1. Report the sale in the state where the property resides.
  2. Report it on your resident state and receive credit for taxes paid to another state.

Credit for taxes paid to another state is allowed by a resident state when the same income is being taxed to another state.  Your resident state does not want you to pay tax twice on the same income. The credit that is allowed will be the lesser of:

  1. the tax liability actually charged by the nonresident state, OR
  2. the tax liability that would have been charged by your resident state
