Solved

I am a LLC general contractor and I built and sold 5 spec homes in 2018. I received a 1099-S for them but they listed my personal name and SSN where should I report

    Yes, everything goes on your schedule C. The sale amount(s) goes as income (line 1, gross receipts or sales).

    The cost of the lots and construction costs go on line 4 as Cost of Goods sold (COGS).

    You  enter your COGS from your own accounting records (or you can use Part III, inventory, at your option).

    You do not enter the 1099-S, per se. But be sure you have your own back up accounting, in case of an IRS inquiry

    Are you the only member of the LLC?

    Did you do this as a personal project since the homes were not in the business' name ?  Or was this all done thru the business ?

    I bought the lots several years ago under my personal name but I built them thru my business

    It seems like I should claim the income on my schedule c for my business, but the only place to enter a 1099-S seems to be on the personal and investment income.
