Not necessarily. According to Worksheet 2 in IRS Publication 523 (extracted below) the following are deductible sales expenses. In TurboTax add these costs to the selling expenses box for the home sale.
- Any sales commissions (for example, a real estate agent's sales commission)
- Any advertising fees
- Any legal fees
- Any mortgage points or other loan charges you paid that would normally have been the buyer's responsibility
- Any other fees or costs to sell your home (for example staging/cleaning/photography)
