It applies to all NON-BUSINESS property. Gains from
personal use property are fully taxable while losses are
NON-DEDUCTIBLE.

Yes. Unless it was used as a rental property.

Does this apply to all sales of personal real-estate? Does
this include vacation homes?

If you were personally using it, then the loss isn't
deductible.

Default Sale of deeded timeshare at loss: still not deductible?

I read this group's history regarding the deuctibility of
the loss on sales of timeshares and I'm seeking updated
advice for the 2004 filing season.

My wife and I sold our deeded timeshare in 2004 at a loss of
$4000. We had used the timeshare personally 4 of the past 6
years; the other two years the timeshare went unused. We
received a 1099-S from the closing company for the gross
proceeds.

Can I deduct this loss under the Sale of Investment "Second
home, land or other real estate (not your main home or
rental)" [I quote the turbotax program]. If not, where and
how do I file the 1099-S?

Thanks,
../Chu
