Brokers should give an option at tax time to download adjusted shares only, but none does as far as I know. Complain to your broker.   You have to peruse your consolidated 1099-B to identify the shares with adjustments; to have them broken out, you must do it.   @Liljon50 

@Leo N you report your portion of the proceeds / cost basis etc. It's -part of Sch D.  Normally you would receive form 1099-S and enter that and that would trigger the rest of TT's questions.  Nothing required to send to the IRS as documentation; HOWEVER, if ever audited, you would need to provide it at that time.  TT should be able to handle this easily. 

There is a special rule for military regarding the capital gains exclusion. This allows active-duty military members who are away from their property due to PCS orders to extend the 60-month period up to an additional 10 years. This means that eligible military members may exclude their capital gains as long as they occupied the primary residence for two of the previous 15 years

NCperson:   1. Legal separation is actually quite common. Here is the info re legal separation for California: https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/divorce-california/legal-separation 2. You can only re-marry if you are legally divorced. You are still required to file as Single if you are legally separated. My original question was about a legally separated couple (sorry about omitting the word "legal"): - What to report (actual portion of net proceeds from the house sale that each party got minus adjusted base of the property divided by 2)? - Where to report it (what form, etc.)? - Should any proof be sent to IRS (Court Judgement/MSA, etc.)? - Is TurboTax flexible enough to adjust for all these details (including only one spouse's name on the property title) or professional tax preparer should be used in 2025? (Looks like the latter at this point).
