then there is no impact on the 1997 sale now. The laws changed effective may, 1997 and your gain was tax free at that time. the 2119 form doesn't mean anything as it did not have to be filled out. you are 'free and clear'
So what is TT asking about your 'prior sale' - it has nothing to do with 1997.
again, did you receive a 1099-S?
and was your gain less than $250,000 ($500,000 if married). If so, there is no capital gains tax due. it's that simple.
read this article - it's why I am asking these questions: you may not have to report the sale at all.
