Which TurboTax edition does taxes for home sale

It depends if you have a gain on the sale that is more than the exclusion or if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale.

 

If using the TurboTax online editions you would need the Premium edition to report the sale.

If using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions then any edition can be used.

If you sold your primary personal residence and you lived in and owned the home for at least two years in the five year period on the date of sale, you do not have to report the sale if your gains are less then the exclusion amounts of $250,000 if filing Single or $500,000 if filing Married Filing Jointly (and both lived in the home for two years).


Gain or Loss = Sales Price minus Sales Expenses minus Adjusted Basis (Purchase Price plus the cost of improvements prior to the sale)


If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported.
