The 1099-S form is used to report sales of property. The information on the form is entered into your tax return and ends up on Schedule D in the same way that a 1099-B is entered.
There is no spot to enter Form 1099-S in your return. Other tax software also does not have a location to directly enter the 1099-S. It is confusing, but the IRS uses this form to report real estate transactions. The information about the sale such as proceeds and date of sale is found on the form. You supply the cost basis and the date of purchase to enter for the sale. The IRS will have the TIN number in their records when they receive the form.
