Deductions & credits
You indicated to TurboTax that the home was not your main home during 2019 by selecting "Yes, but the home we received the credit for stopped being our main home on or before December 31, 2018." That's why Form 5405 was not being generated in your 2019 return--because you did have the house in 2018.
You should have reported this on your 2018 return and paid the balance then.
As a workaround, you could indicate that it was your home on January 1, 2019 and also ceased being your home on the same date [1/1/2019].
To do this, please follow these steps:
- Click on Federal > Deductions & Credits
- In the Your Home section, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Homebuyer Credit Repayment.
- On the next screen, Tell Us About Your Homebuyer Credit, mark the appropriate radio button. Selected the option that the home was still your main home on January 1, 2019, enter the date of purchase in the box that appears and click Continue.
- On the screen, At the end of 2019, did you still live in the home you bought in 2008? mark the No radio button and enter 1/1/2019 as the date you stopped using the home. Select the appropriate option below that.
- On the screen, Tell Us More About Your Home Situation, mark the button I sold the home and click Continue.
- Follow the rest of the screens, entering the requested information.
