I have done no business property sales. However TurboTax indicates negative $1.
to remedy this I followed several discussions and deleted Form 4797.
The negative $1 is still on my "income".
When I revisit the category there are no check boxes next to any of the options (even though I've selected None of the Above several times.
How do I eliminate the $-1.00?
Here's the page:
Ah - The state return questions include a capitol gains question -
My situation - A company distributed a profit (<$10) equivalent to a small percentage of one stock. The payout happened when the company acquired the one I had shares in.
If I understand correctly, the cost basis was higher when the original purchase happened so the profit was a slight loss, rounded to -$1.00.
