Where do i enter a 1099-S form from the sale of inherited property

The property was split between 2 other siblings. Do I enter the full amount or a third of the amount?

none of these questions are addressed in Turbo tax.  there is no way to get to a 1099s for the sale of inherited property

I had a very rough time finding where to enter information (1099S -sale of land) that would appear on the 4797 part 1 also.  Under "Businees" --"Business Income and Expense" -- "Less Common Business Situations" -- "Any other property sales" and check the first box.

I did not receive a 1099S form from the sale of inherited property.  I had a gain from the sale.  Am I required to file since I  have not received a 1099 form?
