Also, I have already reported this to my news stations. The way the “experts” i have paid hundreds for put the stress on me and read verbatim so bologna and had zero care to even access my account is insane. I want the refund on all fees paid and ill find a better company to file with next year.

@marcph2007 Since a Form 1099-S was received you are required to enter the sale of the residence on your tax return, your share.  If the gain on the sale is less than the exclusion amount there will not be any taxes owed.   Gain or Loss = Sales Price minus Sales Expenses minus Adjusted Basis (Purchase Price plus the cost of improvements prior to the sale) Selling cost can include escrow fees, legal fees, real estate agent commissions, advertising costs, and even home staging fees. If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported. You will need the online TurboTax Premium edition to report the sale if you are using the online editions. Make sure that you indicate that you want the sale of the home reported on your tax return.   Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Less Common Income On Sale of Home (gain or loss), click the start or update button

Absolutely agree with that statement. Turbo tax should fix the billing issues on their end without us having to spend anymore time dealing with this. Many calls and report and posts and hours on phone with IrS and waiting for turbo tax not to mention the stress of it all, you owe us. 

There are a few things you can try for import issues.    Make sure you have turned off your anti-virus software Your broker account settings need to have 'third party access' enabled Restart your computer and TurboTax Make sure you're running as Administrator in TurboTax Many brokers don't yet have the data transfer files prepared for importing yet.  Remember that the IRS already has a copy of all your 1099's, so consider using the Summary Method for 1099-B's.  In TurboTax Online, you can drag/drop a PDF of 1099-B's or use the Auto Import feature.    1099-INT's can be totaled for the same institution and entered manually.    @serge3five   

In this situation, if they paid out a distribution - which is confusing because it's a return of capital -- does the "reasonable wage" concept not apply? This distribution, return of capital would not trigger any "reasonable compensation" events? In theory, it doesn't seem it should, however, the tax code is not always to accounting theory. 

@ask4gems I do not know how make less confusing.  It is quite simple.  In the Wages & Income section you MUST scroll down to the bottom of the page until you get to Less Common Income.  Then on Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A  1099-C you click on the Start or Update button.  The following screen will have the Form 1099-LTC listed.
