I'm no tax expert, but ...

If the house is your principal residence, loss, unfortunately, are not deducted. If the house is an investment property, it can deduct a loss.

See IRS Publication 523 for information on the sale of a house.

See IRS Publication 550 for information on sales of capital goods. See IRS Publication 17 for general information about taxes.
