I sold a second home that was rented part time and also used for personal use. I'm reporting the rental (investment) proceeds under business/less common business situations/sale of business property and allocating a percentage to the period of time the property was rented. TurboTax tells me to report the rest of the proceeds under "other investment or personal use property." Where can I find that section?
