Primary resident in SC but sold second home in N.C.  Do I pay capital gains to IRS, SC and N.C.?

    Yes. You will have to report the income on your Federal return. The income must also be reported in NC. Complete that state return first. Then, as a resident of SC, you must report all income. However, you will get a credit for taxes paid in another state.

     

    To enter this transaction in TurboTax Online or Desktop, please follow these steps:

    1. Once you are in your tax return, click on the “Federal Taxes” tab ("Personal" tab in TurboTax Home & Business)
    2. Next click on “Wages & Income” ("Personal Income" in TurboTax Home & Business)
    3. Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Investment Income”
    4. Choose “Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other” and select “start’ (or “update” is you have already worked on this section) (see Screenshot #1)
    5. The first screen will ask if you sold any investments during the current tax year (This includes any sale of real property held as an investment property so answer “yes” to this question)
    6. Since you did not receive a 1099-B, answer “no” to the 1099-B question
    7. Choose type of investment you sold - select Second Home
    8. Some basic information:
      1. Description –  Usually the basic timeshare information
      2. Sales Proceeds – Net proceeds from the sale 
      3. Date Sold – Date you sold the property
