1099-S ... trickier since they did now own the property ... did you file a gift tax return and change the title ?  This will be reported on the form 8949.

Form 1099-S and Sale of a Second Home or Land

Your main home, or principle residence (also considered you tax home), has special treatment limiting taxes on a sale with a gain, or profit. However, second homes, vacation homes, or cabins and real estate are not included in those special tax treatments.

Vacation homes and land or real estate are considered investments. Enter the sale of land, vacation home, cabin or other second home in TurboTax by referring to Sale of a Vacation Home or Land.

Thanks Critter. It is still my property, and it is the 1099s scenerio that is worrisome.
