I sold a rental.

Form 4797 1a is blank. Should I go into forms and manually enter the amount there (as written on1099s)?

Part I,II,III are all filled out correctly.

    Try this first. 

     

    1. With your return open in TurboTax, search for rentals and then select the Jump to link in the search result.
    2. Answer Yes to the question Did you have any income from rentals or royalties?
    3. When you get to What are you here to report? select Rental property and fill out the description, address, and owner.
    4. When you hit Tell us about your situation this year check the Sold box along with any other boxes that may apply.
    5. Continue following the onscreen prompts to enter info about your rental property. Eventually, you'll get to the Review your rental property info screen. You can report the sale in the Expenses/Assets (Depreciation) section, along with any other pertinent info (like income and expenses)

    Tip: Take your time and pay close attention. There's a lot of info and it's easy to miss if you're in a hurry.

    I've reported everything and the numbers all line up in parts I,II, III. Its just that line 1a is blank. Adding it manually via forms doesn't change anything and my refund is the same since everything is showing up accurately elsewhere.

     

    Do you think that I may have missed a question?

    Line 1a is not necessary and will not effect the rest of the return.  If you want to manually fill it in you can.
