    personal or investment loss?

    Client purchased some property, lived in the house for a couple of years, moved out, and then put up for sale. 4 years later he sells at a loss. Is this a personal loss since he made it his home originally?

    I think it would be a tuff sell to convince the IRS it was for investment. Was it on the market for the 4 years?

      MAYBE, he wanted to sell, maybe priced too high, just not sure. I felt that probably a personal loss as nothing was really done to property and wasn't in a popular location.

        Yup, personal loss. No deduction.
