For whatever reason, I got a $3,000 capital loss deduction when I sold that
house. I don't remember what tax package I used that year.


There is no question that capital losses on personal property used for
personal purposes are not deductible.

Was the house used solely as a personal residence?

If not, I will guess that either the s/w was wrong or the user made a data
entry error. Perhaps GIGO at work?
