Yes, this is what I did after spending several hours on hold and trying to get help with this. I don't think any of you are hearing something - in the past (I have sold second homes before) there has been a dedicated path for handling a 1099-S for the sale of a second home. This year, it was put under investments with absolutely no reference to a 1099-S beyond the main screen under investments to help support where and how things needed to be entered. Just look at your instructions in your post (well laid out) that you're asking the customer to enter sale of a second home as the description, know that they are still in the correct place to begin without any mention of 1099-S, help instructions that conflicted with the procedure and where to enter, relying on the customer to know what type of deductions can be made from the sale by entering a total (that part is ridiculous. That's what the software is supposed to "guide" you through). You HAVE had a dedicated procedure in the past for 1099-S.
