Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The IRS says that if you get a 1099-S on the sale of your main home, you do need to report it:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pub 523
Reporting Gain or Loss on Your Home Sale-
You have taxable gain on your home sale (or on the residential portion of your property if you made separate calculations for home and business) and do not qualify to exclude.
-
You received Form 1099-S. If so, you must report the sale even if you have no taxable gain to report.
-
You wish to report your gain as taxable gain even though some or all of it is eligible for exclusion. You may wish to do this if, for example, you plan to sell another property that qualifies as a home within the next two years, and that property is likely to have a larger gain. If you choose to report, rather than exclude, your taxable gain, you can go back later and undo that choice by filing an amended return, but only within 3 calendar years after the year of sale.
Since you seem to be using a "desktop" product you should be able to use Deluxe as, supposedly, ALL desktop products all support the same Forms, Schedules and Worksheets. The sale will start on Form 8949, flow up to Schedule D, and eventually settle out - in a "$0" gain/loss - on the face of Form 1040.
