and the profit on the house was less than

  • $250,000 for a Single Taxpayer
  • or $500,000 if filing Jointly

And you did not get a 1099-S (Sale of Property).

Then you do NOT have to post it to your return.

 

If you do have to post it, follow these steps:

  1. Federal Taxes 
  2. Wages and Income 
  3. Select on I'll choose what I work on
  4. Scroll down to Less Common Income
  5. On Sale of Home (gain or loss),
