Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello Brunnerpd,

 

You are not required to report the sale of home if your profit is under $250K and you lived there for atleast two of the last five years. 

 

But, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale proceeds, you must report the sale of the home in the year that it was sold to the IRS on your tax return. In TurboTax:

 

1) Select Wage & Income Section

2) Select at the bottom the Less Common Income 

3) Select Sell of Home (Gain or Loss)

 

If you were a co-owner with a partner, you will split the basis of the property, as well as the proceeds.   

 

Hope this helps.
