    2. Navigate to the installment sales section:
      • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to installment sales.
      • TurboTax Desktop: Search for installment sales and select the Jump to link.
    3. Check the box next to Sales of real estate, cars, or anything else for which you receive payments over two or more tax years (installment sales). Select Continue.
