I am a US resident for tax purposes. Sold my primary home in 2018. Was given form 8288A since 10% was withheld (fed income tax). Where to claim this in Turbotax Premier?

I did go through the screens "Sale of Home (gain or loss)" in the "Wages&Income" section but could not find the option that income tax was withheld. Thank you for your help.

There is a place in TurboTax to enter other tax withheld.

When your return is open:

  1. Click on Federal at the left hand side of the screen in the black area
  2. Click on Deductions & Credits at the top of the screen
  3. Click on all tax breaks if needed
  4. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  5. Click Start on Income Taxes Paid
  6. Scroll down to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2018
  7. Click Start next to Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099.

Thanks for the help. How do I submit the form to the IRS? There is no text box or anything were I could enter details.

Nothing needs to be attached to the tax return ... the IRS also got a copy from the issuer  so they don't need one from you.
