1099-S Input Form - Sale of Home

[mitchden1]

When I sold my home, my attorney requested that I complete and sign a "1099-S INPUT" form that includes the property information, the contract sales price and the seller information, including my SSN. The contract sales price before commissions and closing fees was $165,000. I lived in this home for 30 years and paid $60,000.

Will I get a 1099-S ? If so, who prepares it and sends it to me?  I understand that If the 1099-S isn't prepared, I don't have to report the sale. In any case, I won't have any tax liability as the capital gain is not more than $250,000.

The 1099-S may already be in your closing paperwork you received at the sale. That is the most common method of delivery. It is possible that they are mailing you a form. You need to contact them to determine if you are being issued a 1099-S.

1. If it is not issued, you do not need to report the home sale. You are under the limits and qualify to exclude the gain. Hopefully, you don't have one.
2. If you do have one, or are getting one, you simply need to report the sale of main home and that you meet the qualification to exclude the gain. If you must enter, follow these steps:
   1. Go to the income section:
   2. 1. click on Add More Income
   3. 2. Scroll down to Less Common Income
   4. 3. Show more
   5. 4. Sale of home
   6. Continue through the questions.

This was for a parcel of land withing a LLC I do not see a form in tubotax to put info into like other 1099's

If the sale was not your main home, then the gain cannot be excluded from income.

If the LLC is a partnership or S-corp, it should be reported on their respective tax return. If it is solely owned, you can report it on your individual tax return:

1. In the Federal > Wages & Income > Investment Income section of your return, click Start/Revisit next to Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B)
2. Select Other.
3. In this category, you may select the type of investment as well as the acquisition and sale information. TurboTax will calculate the capital gain for the land.

Since a 1099-S can be used for multiple kinds of  sales there is no ONE place to enter it ... you enter the sale where is needs to be using the 1099-S information but there is no specific input screen like a W-2.
