Differening answers on inherited house and where to report the sale.

[Jodiesfam]

My brother and I received a house via a transfer on death deed which is permissable in my state. We sold the house, and each received a 1099-S for the proceeds (each received equal half). When I go into TurboTax Premiere, instructions tell me to put the sale under investments. Within those instructions it only refers to a 1099-B and says to say No when it asks about a 1099-B. I never get that question. I asked the question and someone answered to but it under Less Common Income but that only refers to the sale of primary home. Here are my questions:

Do I ignore that it says 1099-B and go on to input the information?

For FMV do I divide that in half since my 1099-S is for half the sale amount?

For the HUD paperwork/fees, charges etc. do I divide those in half as well?

Thanks

Yes to all of that.  The 1099-S only has the sale price, you need to enter it as though it were a 1099-B in order to be able to enter the FMV and selling expenses.  And you and your brother would each deduct half of those from the half of the proceeds that you received.
