Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for the clarity! I just have one more question that has been bugging me. Do I have to show some sort of proof for the cost basis?

 

How does the IRS know that I'm not making it up? I don't want to trigger an audit because isn't the purchase price reported to the IRS when I sell the home? Is there another form or something to show where the difference is coming from?
