How Do I Enter a 1099-S for Land Sale?

When searching in for a 1099-S in TurboTax desktop (2025 version), I am directed to enter the information under the 1099-B (Investment Income). However, on the 1099-B, when I enter the data for land sale (personal), it won't take a sales date more than one year from the date of purchase. Turbotax insists that I enter a date of sale other than when I actually sold the property.

 

Help - this is very frustrating and there seems to be no way around this! Please spell out how to navigate to the correct topic (Capitol Gains?) in Turbotax 2025.

When in receipt of a 1099-S, enter the transaction just as you would without a 1099-S.

Your Date Disposed  must have been in 2025 and must come after your Date Acquired.

If your holding period is a year or more, the reporting category is "F" long term,

not "C" short term.

Thanks, fanfare, for this reply. However, I'm still not clear on where in Turbotax 2025 to enter this 1099-S info. When I tried to enter it as a 1099-B, it wouldn't allow me to enter a date that exceeded one year (there was no "C" or "F" option for the entry I made). Should I enter it in another area of Turbotax?

The first response to TurboTax for 1099-B, in your Long Term situation, is : "I don't have or did not receive a 1099-B".

TurboTax will use "F".
