I received a 1099-S from the sale of a vacant piece of property. Everything one is telling me to use the search tab for "1099-S, Sale of property other than main home" but nothing comes up.  The instructions on the 1099-S form says to use Form 4747 or 6252, but that is not coming up either. What are my options?

    I had the same problem. Took me a while to sort it out.

     

    Using Step-by-Step go to Investment Income (1099-B or broker statements), first item under there is Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other; you add it there. Click Update or Start, which ever is displayed. Click the Add More Sales button at the bottom left to add the 1099-S info.
