Yes, you must include with your tax return a Schedule D and Form 8949 for the sale of the home, gain or loss, even though you owe no taxes due to the capital gains exclusion if the IRS has received a Form 1099-S for the property sale.
If you sold your primary personal residence and you lived in and owned the home for at least two years in the five year period on the date of sale, you do not have to report the sale if your gains are less then the exclusion amounts of $250,000 if filing Single or $500,000 if filing Married Filing Jointly (and both lived in the home for two years).
If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported. You will need the online TurboTax Premier or Self-Employed edition to report the sale if you are using the online editions. Make sure that you indicate that you want the sale of the home reported on your tax return.
Or enter sale of home in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to sale of home
