Congratulations on your new house!

You do not have to report the purchase of the house on your tax return.  The only things that might be reported would be any property taxes you paid at settlement.

You can delete the Home Sale Worksheet by using these steps:

  1. While in your return, click on Tax Tools > Tools (in the black bar at the side of your screen).  
  2. In the Tools Center, under Other helpful links click on Delete a form.
  3. Click Delete next to the form you want to delete (Home Sale Wks) and follow the onscreen instructions. 
  4. Once you have finished deleting the desired form(s) click the Continue with My Return box (in the lower right of your screen).
