Sounds like directly on Sch D then, do you have basis for the furnishings?

I AM ENTERING ZERO BASIS.  I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO ENTER DIRECTLY ON SCHEDULE D.  THE OPTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.  I THINK I AM JUST GOING TO ENTER THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS RECEIVED AS ANOTHER HOME SALE WORKSHEET SHOWING THAT A 1099S WAS NOT REPORTED WITH THE AMOUNT AND SHOW A ZERO BASIS.  I THINK THIS WILL HANDLE IT PROPERLY.  I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO FLAG ANYTING WITH THE IRS

Enter this on Schedule D the same as you would if it was a stock sale, except mark not on a 1099-B.

Mist likely the furnishings cost more than their sale price, resulting in a nondeductible personal loss.

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

Were the furnishings sold separately or as part of the sale of the home? If included they do not get reported separately.
