A Form 1099-S is not entered on a federal tax return.  The data from the 1099-S is entered in the section for the property sale.

What was sold that generated the Form 1099-S?  Primary home, second/vacation home, rental property, commercial property, land, etc.?

A Form 1099-S is not entered on a tax return.  Only the data from the 1099-S for the sale of a property is used when entering the sale.

But "where" is that info actually entered?  (If it was for your principal/main residence)

In the Federal taxes section   (Personal taxes if you are using the Online SE or Desktop H&B versions)

...On the Wages&Income page :

...........waaaay down at the bottom of all the menu items is a sub-section called "Less Common Income"

........................one of the items in that section is  "Sale of Home (gain or loss)"...start in there to put in the data.
