Where do I enter a capital gain or loss?
by TurboTax•709• Updated 1 month ago
Capital gains, losses, and 1099-B forms are all entered in the same place:
- Open or continue your return.
- Navigate to the investment sales section:
- TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to investment sales.
- TurboTax Desktop: Search for investment sales and then select the Jump to link.
- Answer Yes to the question Did you have investment income in 2024?
- If you land on the Your investments and savings screen, select Add investments.
- Follow the instructions and we'll calculate the gain or loss from the sale.
Your total capital gains for the year minus your total capital losses result in a net gain or a net loss.
You can deduct a net loss of up to $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately). Any capital loss you couldn't deduct this year can be carried forward and deducted on future tax returns as a capital loss carryover.
