Where Do I Input Home Sale 1099S Information For a Home That I Inherited

I was on the Title of a Home (Inherited) that was sold in 2024.

I received a 1099S reflecting the sale.

All of the Turbo Tax posts I've read say to input the 1099S under "Less Common Income", Sale of a Home.

The people asking previous questions lived in the home, I did not (It was not my primary home). Do I still put in my 1099S information under "Less Common Income, Sale of a Home?

Where Do I Input Home Sale 1099S Information For a Home That I Inherited

No.  If you did not live in the home you will enter it as a sale of investment property (even though it was inherited)

You would enter the sale of the land by clicking the following:

  1. Federal
  2. Income
  3. Show More next to Investment Income
  4. Start next to Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B) 
  5. Select Other
  6. Continue through and select Second Home for the type of investment
  7. Answer how you obtained it
  8. You will need to enter the selling price, dates and the cost basis   

Note, your navigation sequence may be slightly different.  You can also use the Jump to feature by entering investment sale in the search bar at the top of the screen.
