Your main home is the one you sleep in every night. Doesn't matter if you own it, or rent it.

A main home is one that you own and live in.  Your home is Ohio is investment property, not your main home.

 

When you sell a home, you are taxed depending on whether it was a main home or was investment property.
 

Is money from sale of a home taxable?

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2019 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2019 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

 

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

 

Or—-if you filed as a “non-filer” just to get the stimulus check on a 2019 return, try using $1 as the AGI.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

If you have your 2019 tax return, your AGI is on line 8b of the Form 1040.   

If you don't have 2019 available you can try to enter a zero. 

You can also request a transcript from the IRS Get an IRS Transcript.

 

Finally, the last resort is to mail your tax return.  TurboTax will print an instruction sheet explaining where to mail the returns.

 

To mail your Individual Income Tax Return please review the following:

Completing your Return

 

  • Do not staple or attach your check, W-2s or any other documents to your return.
  • Submit proper documentation (schedules, statements and supporting documentation, including W-2s, other states’ tax returns, or necessary federal returns and schedules).
  • Use the correct form - forms differ by tax type and tax year.  Look at the bottom of the form for the required pages to submit.
  • Double-check your return.
  • Review personal information (social security number (SSN), address, date of birth) on your return for each person listed 
  • Sign your return.
  • Taxpayers must sign and date their returns
  • Both spouses must sign the joint return, even if there was only one income reported
  • Mail your return, payment, and all necessary documentation to the appropriate address listed on the return.
