Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@Robtax70 said "I’m sure I owe money from the distribution of the funds".
No, you don't. There is almost never a capital gain on the sale of inherited property, that is sold shortly after being inherited, because of the "stepped up" cost basis. The gain or loss is the sale price (less expenses of sale) minus the fair market value (FMV) ("cost basis") on the date of death.
An inherited home is considered investment property (and any loss is deductible) unless the home was used by family during the probate period. Do not classify the home as a "2nd home" when you enter it in TurboTax (TT). That's why you're getting 0 as a result.
Enter only your share of the sale price (not the proceeds) and FMV cost basis. If the 1099-S, for the whole amount, was issued in your name, you'll have to use a work around in TT.
