Do I have to pay Missouri tax (I live in Missouri) on a capital gain from the sale of a house in South Dakota? Thanks Tim Morrison

It depends.

No - If this is the sale of your primary residence and you meet the IRS home gain exclusion (and you did not receive a 1099-S for the sale), you will not report this sale on your federal or any state tax return.

Yes - If you sold a second home, rental home or investment home and you have a gain on the sale, you will need to report this sale on a SD nonresident state income tax return (as SD-source income due to the property sold being located in SD).

Also, you will report this sale on your MO resident state income tax return and you will be able to get a state tax credit in MO for the taxes you paid on your SD nonresident state income tax return.

Here is additional information about filing in multiple states (select "see more answer" to view the entire attachment)

Information if sale of primary residence -

You do not need to enter the sale of your primary residence if:

  • You never used your primary residence as a rental
  • You have a loss on the sale of your home (Personal capital losses are not reported on your tax return)
  • You did not receive a Form 1099-S and
  • You meet the home gain exclusion (see below)

You can take the gain exclusion as long as you considered the home your "primary residence" for 2 of the last 5 years. If you have a capital gain from the sale of your main home, you may qualify to exclude up to $250,000 of that gain from your income. You may qualify to exclude up to $500,000 of that gain if you file a joint return with your spouse. See  Sale of Your Home for more information on the exclusion.

If you still need to enter your sale of your primary residence (which may require an upgrade in TurboTax), please follow these steps:

  1. Once you are in your tax return (for TurboTax Online sign-in, click Here), click on the “Federal Taxes” tab ("Personal" tab in TurboTax Home & Business)
  2. Next click on “Wages & Income” ("Personal Income" in TurboTax Home & Business)
  3. Next click on “I’ll choose what I work on”
  4. Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Less Common Income”
  5. Choose “Sale of Home (gain or loss)” and select “start’
  6. You will want to use the "Easy Guide" to determine the adjusted basis on this home 

Say "yes" that you sold your main home and TurboTax will guide you on entering this information.  You will need:

  • The date you sold your home and the selling price (from your closing statement)
  • The date you bought your home and the purchase price (from your closing statement)
  • The cost of any major improvements you made, so we can deduct them for you
  • Form 1099-C if you sold your home at a loss (short sale)

Just remember to check the box to have your home sale reported on your tax return but ONLY if you receive a 1099-S
