I ended my Mary Kay business do I need to list inventory? I sold back everything I could and got rid of the rest of my inventory so I have nothing now. Also do I have to report the 90% buy back on the products i purchased somewhere?

Yes, when you get to the business section, continue your entries as if you were entering your business. TurboTax will ask you if you stopped your business during the year; answer yes to this question. ‌The program will ask for more information on how you closed the business.  

 

Continue through the interview process for the business. The program will ask about income and expenses, and about any assets that the business had, and about your inventory.  For more information visit the following links for both IRS and TurboTax information on closing a business:

So I did all that but when it comes to inventory I’m confused. It asks if I have inventory to report. Do I say yes or no? As of 12/1/2024 I had 0 inventory.

If the business had any inventory beginning in 2024, your closing inventory balance must be zero. If not, then you must show the disposition of that inventory. 

 

If you did not sell that inventory, then simply select the option to indicate it was removed for personal use. That will make the ending inventory balance zero.

I can’t find that section to add that in. As soon as I put I have no inventory it doesn’t allow me to enter anything in.
