You use this form to figure: the amount of additional Medicare tax you owe and the amount of additional Medicare tax withheld by your employer, if any. TurboTax will automatically add Form 8959 to your return if your income exceeds the threshold amount for your filing status. The threshold is $250,000 for jointly filing couples, $125,000 for married couples filing separately, and $200,000 for everybody else.

It's not reported on Schedule D at all.   The gain is not materially available to me until mid 2025.    So, this is reported on Form 6252 - which shows up in the Turbotax data (2024 Windows 10 desktop version software), but even this data does not flow to Schedule D.   When I print the full tax return with all the forms and calculations, Form 6252 and 6251 are not printed,  neither are CA 540 Forms 3805E.   But these forms do show up in the tax data.   By IRS rules, as per https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/investments-and-taxes/what-is-irs-form-6252-installment-sale-income/L3R2EHSQU , I am required to report this sale in 2024 on Form 6252 even if I have not received the payment.   Please help and advise if you have knowledge of any bug in 2024 Turbotax software for Window10 Desktop.   Thank you.

Yes. As a US citizen you are required to report all worldwide income on your tax return. If the condo was sold relatively closely after your mother passed away, then you might have a cost basis of the fair market value (FMV) on the date of death. It means there would be virtually no gain or loss on the sale of inherited property. This assumes your name was not on the property before death.   The IRS would want it reported even if you have no gain, to show the cost basis.   You would be allowed to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction if there was income tax paid to Canada and you were taxed on the same income on your individual US income tax return. It may not be relevant if you have no gain or you did not pay any tax in Canada.
