Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Even though the entry page reflects Form 1099-B, you should be able to report all the information from Form 1099-S that would affect your tax situation. Because you indicated this was a 1099-S sale, it will be characterized as such for Schedule D.

 

How to enter:

  1. When did you receive this investment: purchase date.
  2. Date sold or disposed: closing date.
  3. Sales Proceeds: total sale price.
  4. Total amount paid: your basis.
  5. Check the box "I have more info to enter that I don't see here".
  6. Choose the state from the drop-down and enter the state ID number.
  7. Enter the amount of state tax withheld.
  8. On the next page, check the box for "I paid sales expenses..." and enter the total (see list below*).
  9. The review page should show "1099-S" as the description.

In your return forms, you will see your entries on Form 1099-B Wks (description of sale), which flows to Form 8949 Part II Box F, and further to Schedule D Part II Line 10 (Long term).
