The 1099-S forms I got only show the gross proceeds, but turbotax asks me to input the net proceeds

You will treat this as the sale of a capital asset. (However, Losses from the sale of a personal use timeshare are deemed to be personal losses and are not deductible) 

If you received a 1099-S for this transaction, you will enter it as the sale of a capital asset. Just make sure that you report the basis equal to the amount being reported as proceeds from the sale so that the two amounts cancel each other out (resulting in zero "0" capital gain or loss on the sale)
