How do I enter a REIT liquidation loss?

[hilliard-larry]

I received a 1099-DIV for a REIT that was liquidated during last year. The REIT's website provided a calculator to determine the 2017 Taxable Gain (Loss). In this case, it was a significant loss. Where/how do I input the loss into TurboTax (Premier)?

Report the loss in the Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds and Other interview under Federal Tax > Wages and Income > Investment Income (enter "jump to 1099b" in the Search Box). 

Even though you got a 1099-DIV, enter the liquidation as if was reported on a Form 1099-B. 

The "Sales Price" for the 1099-B entry will be the amount shown in Box 8 of the 1099-DIV (Cash Liquidation Distribution). Refer to the REIT's website for the rest of the information to complete the 1099-B interview.
