Yes, you may use TurboTax Premier to report the sale of your residence.
If the home was your personal residence and you have a gain on the sale, some or all of the gain may not be taxed. If your filing status is Single, Head of Household or Married Filing Separately, you won't pay taxes on the first $250,000 that you make from the sale of your home. If you're filing status is Married Filing Jointly, you won't pay taxes on the first $500,000.
That income is free and clear as long as:
- You owned the home
- It was your main home for two years or more within the five years leading up to the sale
- You waited at least two years between selling your primary home and excluding your first $250,000 or $500,000 from taxes. In other words, you may buy and sell as many primary homes as you'd like, but you'll only get this tax benefit every two years.
When you sell a second home, the tax situation is different.
TurboTax will show you if your home sale is taxable.
