Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The IRS Form 1099-S only reports gross proceeds of a sale of real estate. The issuer of the 1099-S will need to send it directly to the state of Georgia as well. This is a separate process from reporting the amount you paid on your tax return.

 

You can enter state withholding done at the time of sale in TurboTax Online, in the Federal section:

 

  1. Go to Deductions & Credits
  2. Select Estimated Tax Payments
  3. Click Start or Revisit next to State estimated taxes for 2024
  4. Scroll down to Additional Payments
  5. Enter the Date Paid and Amount Paid

The amount can be entered either as a state estimated payment or other income tax payment, under Additional Payments. You won't need to enter a state ID number. The amount entered in the Federal section will flow through to your state return.

 

The amount withheld is part of your federal and/or state tax paid for the year rather than an expense of the sale.
