Deductions & credits

The 1099-S may already be in your closing paperwork you received at the sale. That is the most common method of delivery. It is possible that they are mailing you a form. You need to contact them to determine if you are being issued a 1099-S.

 

  1. If it is not issued, you do not need to report the home sale. You are under the limits and qualify to exclude the gain. Hopefully, you don't have one.
  2. If you do have one, or are getting one, you simply need to report the sale of main home and that you meet the qualification to exclude the gain. If you must enter, follow these steps:
    1. Go to the income section:
    2. 1. click on Add More Income
    3. 2. Scroll down to Less Common Income
    4. 3. Show more
    5. 4. Sale of home
    6. Continue through the questions.
