If this home was purchased as an investment:
If this home was a vacation or second home, on the screen Choose the type of investment you sold, choose Second Home. If the property was used for personal purposes, you would not be allowed to deduct a loss on the sale.
If this was your main home, instead of going to Investment Income, and scroll down to Less Common Income, and choose Sale of Home. If you sold your main home in 2017, we'll determine if you need to report the sale on your tax return. Generally, profits of up to $250,000 (up to $500,000 on a joint tax return) do not need to be reported to the IRS. We’ll figure this out for you.
