Any of the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions can be used if you need to report the home sale - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/
Using the TurboTax online editions you would need either Premier or Self-Employed - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/
If you sold your primary personal residence and you lived in and owned the home for at least two years in the five year period on the date of sale, you do not have to report the sale if your gains are less then the exclusion amounts of $250,000 if filing Single or $500,000 if filing Married Filing Jointly (and both lived in the home for two years).
If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported. You will need the online TurboTax Premier or Self-Employed edition to report the sale if you are using the online editions. Make sure that you indicate that you want the sale of the home reported on your tax return. (See Screenshot)
