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.
