You can make the changes as long as you didn't file your return. If you already filed your return, you need to amend it to make any changes.
For sale of your main home, follow the steps to revisit that section:
With your return open,
- Go to Wages and Income in the federal section.
- Scroll down to Less Common Income.
- Select Review next to Sale of Home (gain or loss)
- Continue to review and edit your entries.
When selling your home, You can also deduct:
- Home improvement costs as an adjustment to the basis of the home you sold (which are more or less permanent changes to the house and not the same as repairs and maintenance)
- Mortgage interest and/or real estate/property taxes charged at closing
- Selling expenses to reduce your gain on the sale side of the home
Look at Selling Your Home by the IRS for more in-depth information.
