I have sold stock of a private C Corp (1202 eligible). I indicated this fact, but TurboTax still adds the capital gains to my income. How do I correct this?

The gains are $400,000 and the company is well under the revenue threshold.

    I have held the stock for 11 years.

     

    In TT I have the dates correct: 5/1/2013 to 10/30/2024.

    I then selected  "This is a small business stock" and then selected "Qualified small business stock eligible for exclusion of gain (section 1202)".

     

    TT shows "Sales Selection" as Long-term (Box F).

     

    This all looks right to me, so I am puzzled on why TT is not treating it as exclusion.

    Thanks for your reply and I appreciate further comments.

    To clarify, how long did you hold the stock before selling?

    I entered a sale in the Investment Income section using the same information that you provided, and I do receive the exclusion.  I did leave the Adjustment Amount screen blank rather than entering zero.  Can you review your entries?
