When you enter the sale of your home in TurboTax, it asks you some questions to determine whether you qualify for the exclusion, including questions about residency. If you did not see those questions, you might be entering the sale in the wrong place. In the Search box type "sale of home" (without the quotes), then click the link that says "Jump to sale of home." Or go to the following:
- Federal Taxes
- Wages & Income
- Less Common Income
- Sale of Home
If you need more specific instructions, tell us whether you are using TurboTax Online or the CD/Download TurboTax software, and which edition (Basic, Deluxe, etc.).
The information about residency does not go on your tax return. TurboTax just uses it to determine whether you qualify for the exclusion. You don't need to show proof unless the IRS questions your tax return.
