Gain on primary home sale appearing in both part-year state returns?

Help, please.

During 2022 I lived in NJ then moved to PA. I am filing a Joint return. I sold NJ primary home prior to moving to PA and recognized gain to the extent of prior years' home office depreciation. This gain rightfully appears on both Fed and NJ state returns. Turbotax is also showing a gain on the sale of NJ home on my PA part-year return even though the sale was prior to moving to PA.  On the PA Sch D Schedule of Gains and Losses, turbotax is not allowing an 'X' in the Not for PA box. On Schedule 19 of PA return, I do have question 6 checked Yes since I previously used part of my NJ home as a home office and was able to take HO deductions. Accordingly, Section II is completed by the program which is showing a gain for PA. I do not think this information should transfer to the PA return at all.

I cannot seem to find how I can remove the sale of the NJ home from the PA return. Can someone assist?

You do not have to include the sale of your home on your Pennsylvania return if you sold your house before moving to PA.

 

I’m assuming you reported the sale of your home in the Sale of Home (gain or loss) section of Personal Income. If that’s true, here’s what to do:

 

  1. Tap Forms in the top right corner
  2. In the left column, find Sch19 under Pennsylvania Individual
  3. Select Delete Form at the bottom of your screen
  4. Tap Step-by-Step where Forms used to be to return to the interview mode
