1099-S

It depends. If you still have the rental assets in your tax return you can use the steps below and example to report your sale. The Forn 1099-S is not an entry form.

 

You need to dispose of the property by telling TurboTax how and when it was disposed of.  Follow the instructions below.

  1. Click on Search (upper right) > type rentals > Enter > click Jump to .... link (or click the first FAQ and click Go to rentals)
  2. Answer the questions and on under Rent and Royalty Summary, click Edit
  3. Click Update to the right of Assets/Depreciation.
  4. Click Edit to the right of each asset to be disposed of
  5. Go through several screens until you get to Tell Us More About This Rental Asset
  6. Click on This item was sold…….   And continue to answer the questions

You might also review information here.

 

Example of arriving at the selling price and sales expenses for each asset in your rental activity.

 

Example:  Original Cost (of each asset on your depreciation schedule)

$10,000 Land                = 13.33%  (Important: Land has a more favorable tax treatment)

$50,000 House              = 66.67%

$15,000 Improvements  = 20%

$75,000 Total                 = 100%

 

Multiply each percentage times the sales price/sales expenses to arrive at each individual sales price/sales expense.
