When you sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other securities, you should get Form 1099-B from your brokerage by mid-February. Simply enter the form in TurboTax to report the sale.

But what about nonsecurity investment sales like coins, collectibles, timber, land, or a second home? Here's how you enter those:

  • Navigate to the investment sales section:

    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the investment sales screenunder Wages & Income.

    • TurboTax Desktop:

      • Go to Federal Taxes.

      • Go to Wages & Income.

      • If asked, How do you want to enter your income?, select I'll choose what I work on.

  • Answer Yes to the question Did you have investment income in 2025? .

    • If you land on the Investment sales summary or Your investments and savings screen, select Add More Sales or Add investments.

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to either import your investment sale info or enter it in your return yourself.
