Form 8949 (Sale of Main Home) Turbo Tax only requiring 8949 (Page 2) (12A) not page 1?? after schedule D

Confused, 

 

I went to save my PDF of my tax return, and there is no form 8949 page 1? it just goes schedule to directly to Page 2??

 

I had sale of my first home, and doing depreciation recapture and capital gains on the 1 year I rented it etc...

 

But it is confusing why I would have a schedule D and then it goes directly to page 2 of 8949 in the next form and no page 1?

 

Is that correct?

 

Thanks!

Page 1 is for short term gains, yours would be blank if your only capital transaction is the house (long term).   I don't see anything specifically in the instructions that says don't file page 1 if blank, but that's probably why it doesn't print and the IRS won't need it even if you do file by mail.
