The sale of the condo would be treated as a capital gains sale since you did not live in it for 2 out of the 5 years before the sale. Spending weekends at the home would not make it a primary residence, it would make it a second home which the sale of a second home is treated as the sale of an investment property subject to capital gains. 

 

You would still enter it as a home sale using your form 1099-S.  You will be asked whether you ever rented the home or was it used for anything other than your residence.  Answer yes, that you used it as a rental to make your reporting of the sale the most accurate. 

 

To enter the Sale of a Home select the following:

  • Federal
  • Income
  • Sale of Home under Less Common Income
