The co-owners and myself received the 1099-S forms after the sale of our co-owned second home. The Gross Proceeds were split 50%-50% between the other co-owner and myself and that is what each 1099-S form shows on each of our forms. Do I report the total Gross Proceeds (100%) in the "Sale Proceeds" field and the total purchase price (100%) in the "Cost or Other Basis" in the investment section of TurboTax premier? Or do I use the 50% Gross Proceeds shown on my copy of the 1099-S form in "Sale Proceeds" field and enter 50% of the purchase price in the "Cost or Other Basis" field?
I see further questions ask if there were any selling expenses which there were and should I put the total expenses in that field or 50% of the selling expenses? Then onto the next question about if part of the proceeds of the sale belong to someone else? (yes in this case the co-owner) Do I make the adjustment to show a negative adjust to offset the the total gains by 50%?
This section is very confusing and not sure what I should be entering in these fields. Please let me know.

you enter only your share of each item. so if the house sold for $100K total your 1099-S showed $50K and that's what you enter. closing costs and any selling expenses paid outside of closing need to be split 50/50. if the total cost of the house was $30K that needs to be split 50/50.
