Personal use?

Rental?

Business?

Something else?

 

Was there a loan on the property?

Personal use with no mortgage.

Losses for personal-use property are not tax deductible.  And because it is a foreign property, I assume there is no 1099-S.  There is no loan so you don't need to deal with the funky §988 foreign exchange stuff.

That means you don't need to report it at all.
