What if I sold a home this year, where do I enter it on my return

Here's how to report the sale of your primary home in TurboTax.

  • Click the Federal Taxes tab.
  • Click Wages & Income
  • Click "I'll choose what I work on" or "Jump to a full list."
  • On the screen "Your 2016 Income Summary," scroll all the way down to the last section, "Less Common Income."
  • Click the Start, Update, or Revisit button for "Sale of Home (gain or loss)."

If you got a Form 1099-S for the sale of your home, you don't actually enter the 1099-S form itself. Just enter the information about the sale that TurboTax asks for.

Was it your primary home, a second home or vacation home, a home that you rented out, or a home you owned for some other purpose?
