I sold S-corp stock and will receive the pay out over 5 years. Do I report only the amount paid this year or the whole amount of the transaction?

I take it that the stock is not publicly traded and I assume that you have a gain on sale.

If so, you can use the installment method for reporting the sale.

I'm not sure if all versions of TurboTax online support installment sales or not, but all desktop versions do.

Not publicly traded, and a gain.  Installment Sales section tells me this transaction doesn't qualify and to enter under normal stock sale section.  I answered the question of "Was this item used in a business" as "NO". Should I say that this was used in a business since it it the stock in that business?

Yes, that should work.
