Can someone please tell me how I need to enter the sale of inherited land as held for investment so that the loss is allowed? Thank you in advance!

Remove all entries from the sale of home section. Make believe it was a sale of stock and enter like that.


The more I know the more I don’t know.

I would uncheck "sale of home." If you're already at a loss, you don't need a gain exclusion.

Hi Karl! I unchecked the sale of home box and it removes the sale from Schedule D and the 8949 disappears.

On this post you sold it before you bought it. How?
