Hello,

I can't seem to figure out how to report sales from house flipping, buying a house, fixing it and reselling it. not sale of personal home.

It used to be on Sch D, but that seems to have entry for stock sales using the 1009-B entry option, 8649 is not editable to flow to the Sch D. 

If I enter it on 1099-B it shows up as 8649 box F checked, it was not reported on any thing received at closing.

Suggestions?

Flipping denotes multiple and sounds like a business as opposed to a one off.

It should be reported on Schedule C.

Sch C, houses and improvements are all part of inventory until the house is sold.
