What type of property was sold that you would have received a Form 1099-S?

Primary home, second home, Land, rental property?

The Form 1099-S is not entered on a tax return.  The proceeds as shown on the form are entered on the tax return for the sale of the property.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the sale of a rental property - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rental/help/i-sold-my-rental-property-how-do-i-report-that/01/26251

I was really frustrated trying to figure this out; your answer was a blessing.
