@beekeeper , while I agree with @ColeenD3 that the final result ( taxwise ) can be achieved that way , but I believe you are entering the 1009-S in the wrong area --- assuming that this was real-estate ( thus a 1099-S ) you should be entering this under sale of home / real-estate ---
In TurboTax Home & Business ( I have only access to downloaded version -- but on-line should be the substantially similar:
They have changed the entry process for this ( compared to 2018 -- there is a bounce between personal income and business income but eventually the entries are in "business income and expenses " "I'll choose what I work on ", "other less common income situations" "sale of business property" and follow on screens. The tabular entry of the sales costs has now been eliminated and actually added to the " cost or other basis of the property --- this is what line 21 on the "enterable" form 4797 says. SAo yes therefore Turbo Tax will not ask for sales expenses --- also help note are the same as before i.e. cost basis is defined as acquisiton cost + cost of improvements + un-reimbursed casualty loss etc. So yes there is a problem here . Sorry
that is my take on this -- thank you for your patience and for bring this to this board
