Deductions & credits
It should definitely be entered on your tax return(s). You don't mention whether or not you are in a community property state where you would be required to split everything down the middle on your tax return anyway so I am going to assume that you don't.
From what you say here it sounds like the house was sold and all of the proceeds went to your ex-husband (except for the expense reimbursement that you received). In that case the property would need to be reported as a sale on your ex-husband's tax return. He will report the full sale price as well as all of the expenses and the profit on the sale of the property would be taxable to him. If I misunderstood and you split the proceeds then you would do this half and half on each return.
Being reimbursed for your expenses is not a taxable event. You don't need to report that.
Enter it in the program as sale of rental property. He will need to find the accumulated depreciation amount that was taken as of the time that you had stopped renting it. That amount should be on the last tax return that the property was a rental on. A portion of the proceeds from the sale will be taxed as depreciation recapture at his regular income tax rate.
