Proper way to enter the sale of a rental property that used to be my primary residence

Hi All,

 

I purchased a house in 2008 and lived in it until mid-2019.  I then rented it out from December 2019 until March 2021.  After the tenants moved out.  I spent a month fixing it up (paint, new carpet, new water heater, other repairs) and sold it in May 2021.  I qualify for the capital gain exclusion.  I received a form 1099-S from the sale.

 

What's the best to enter this transaction?  Since the was not rented out after March 2021 and no longer used for business purposes, do I need to convert it back a personal residence and list it under Sale of a Home?  Do I list the sale under Rental Properties and Royalties?

 

Appreciate any guidance you can provide.
