Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello,

You will need to report the sale of the home on your tax return using the 1099-s that should have been sent to you.

 

If you owned and lived in the home for a total of two of the five years before the sale, then up to $250,000 of profit is tax free ($500,000 if you married filing joint).

 

If your profits exceed the above limit, then the excess is reported as capital gains on schedule D.

 

If you have a loss, it is not deductible on the return.
