@AbrahamT Thank you for the reply! The problem is I've already submitted my taxes. Is it true what Robert said above that 1a is not necessary?
This is definitely a bug as reported here:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/1099s-bug-on-form-4797-line-1-for-rental-property...
I was never asked during the reporting the sale of my rental if I received a 1099-S.
I followed your instruction and I found the screen that you posted however the instructions are not as easy as you make them out to be. I have to click the box on Sales of business property or rental property that you haven't already reported (even though I already reported it) ------> Do ALL of the following apply? (even though they do I have to click no) -----------> Do any of the following descriptions apply? (click No) THEN you finally get to the screen that you posted.
It is great that you found a work around but no one is going to know to look for this.
