Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have no idea why the 1099-S was issued with a lower amount.  Regardless of which selling price you use it will not be a taxable event.

  • I suggest you use the 615 K number as sale proceeds.
  • If you bought the house on 9/15/2020 and sold it on 11/30/2022, you do qualify for the 2-year exclusion.
  • With the $250K exclusion you will not owe any tax on the sale of your home.

Enter the sale of your principal residence:

  1. Click on Federal 
  2. Wages & Income
  3. Scroll to Less Common Income
  4. click on Sale of Home (gain or loss).
  5. On the screen Sale of Your Main Home click the Yes box.  
  6. On the Sold A Home screen, review the information you will need to enter and click Continue.  
  7. Continue through the screens, entering the requested information.
