I sold my home (primary/sole) in 2018 for < $250,000. I have not received a 1099s. Should I have? Do I need to report that I sold it?

If you have owned your home and lived in it for at least 2 years in the last 5 years prior to the sale, your capital gains are excluded for up to $250,000 ($500,000 if filing jointly with your spouse).

If you have not received a form 1099-S, you do not need to report the sale if you qualify for the exclusion.

Please read this IRS document:

Do i have to file my mail without an ITIN or SSN for my spouse? They are not a US citizen or a green card holder, but we do not live in the US or plan to in the future.
