Where do I enter forfeited earnest money as income?

In TurboTax, go to Less Common Income > Miscellaneous Income > Other Reportable Income. You can describe the income as "retained earnest money deposit" or something similar.

This will cause the income to appear on line 21 of your 1040, which is correct.

That would be "other income" and would go on line 21 of your 1040.
