You are probably getting the message because you didn't indicate on your 2017 that the home has been sold. When you indicate this you will need to pay the balance on the credit/loan.
To solve this issue, 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. Select the option that the home was still your main home on
January 1, 2018, enter the date of purchase in the box that appears and
click Continue.
- On the screen, At the end of 2018, did you still live in the home you bought in 2008? mark the No button and enter January 1, 2018 in the date box.
- Mark the appropriate button in the next section and click Continue.
- Continue through the screens,
entering the requested information.
If you did report the sale of your home in the Homebuyer Credit section in your 2017 return, on the Tell Us About Your Homebuyer Credit screen, mark the second radio button, Yes, but the home we received the credit for stopped being our main home on or before December 31, 2017 and click Continue.
