Sale of inherited house for investment purposes, Cant get turbo tax to acknowledge the loss

[PatriciaV]

Unfortunately, you cannot deduct the loss on the sale of an inherited property (second home) as the IRS considers this is to be the sale of personal use property.

See IRS Pub 17: Personal Use Property

If you used this property as a Rental, you may report a loss on the sale under Rental Properties. Or you can report this as an Investment Sale ("Everything Else") as a capital loss.

The easiest way to find any section of TurboTax is to use the Search box at the top right side of the TurboTax header. Click on the magnifying glass, type in the topic you need, hit Enter, and click the "jump to" link to go directly to beginning of that topic.
