Yes, you can enter the sale of your home and exclude up to $250,000 of the gain in TurboTax.
Here's how to enter that:
The program will cover your basis, cost of selling, whether you ever used it for business and if you qualify for an exemption.
I know I'm entitled to the exemption. Software only asks when I bought it--2007 and when I sold it and if I got a 1099-S. no where am I asked when I established it as my principal residence--which was in 2018.
Software asks "date bought or acquired." I bought it in 2007. I wouldn't think moving there full time in 2018 can be when I "acquired" it. So I inputted the purchase date, '07
are you using the home sale worksheet?
I'm just plodding along following the questions in the home sales "other income" section. I printed the return and its filled out a form called "adjusted basis of home sold worksheet." All it includes is increases and decreases to the (cost) basis.
