You may no longer have a loss to take.  When you sell an inherited property at a loss you can only deduct $3,000 per year until the loss is completely used.  The amount that is left to carry forward shows on a Schedule D in your 2018 tax return.

 

If there is still an amount that is deductible and you used TurboTax previously any remaining loss would carry forward and deduct on this year's return.
