Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Forget about the 1099-S section.  You and your siblings each need to report a transaction using 1/3 of the sales proceeds.  You will report the sale in the same section in which you report stock and other investment sales.  To Enter in TurboTax: 

 

  • Type "Investment sales" in the search window and click Enter
  • Click on "Jump to Investment sales"
  • On the page with "Did you have investment sales in 2023?"  Answer Yes
  • Answer No to "Did you cave crypto income or losses in 2023?
  • Skip the import sections and click on Enter another way
  • On the screen with OK, let's start with one investment type, click on "Other"
  • Answer No to "Did you get a 1099-B..."
  • Enter the name of the person or entity that brokered the sale (you can leave this blank)
  • On the "Now enter one sale for [description]" Indicate "Personal items, I inherited it" and give a description like "Inherited House".
  • The interview will walk you through entering the details of the sale

I would enter the same value for proceeds and fair market value.  

 

Why call it  "Personal items"?  It was not an investment, and it wasn't your second home; therefore, it is a personal item.   It won't have any effect on your tax return if you do call it a personal home.
