sale of home
I sold my primary residence in 2024 and bought a new home. Married, retired with W2, 401K and pension income, stock appreciation. No itemization, standard deduction. Which version of Turbotax do I need?

sale of home
Any version of the desktop download has all of the forms and schedules, so you can get desktop for anything you mentioned above. If you will be using online TurboTax then use online Premium.
Some information about selling the house:
If your gain was more than $250,000 filing Single, or more than $500,000 filing Married Filing Jointly the sale must be reported on your tax return. Whether you re-invested the gain in to another house is irrelevant. If you have a Form 1099-S go to Federal>Wages and Income>Less Common Income>Sale of Home (gain or loss)
If you owned and lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years on the date of the sale, you do not have to report the home sale if the gain is less than $250K filing Single, or less than $500K filing Married Filing Jointly (and you both owned and lived in the home for at least 2 years).
- If you are using online TT, you need Premium software to report the 1099-S
NOTE: If you have ever used the home as rental property or claimed a home office, you have more information to enter
