I received a 1099-S from Marriott for selling/giving back my 1 week timeshare. I can't find the 1099-S form in my Premier edition of Turbotax tyo enter the information. Is there one or do I need to upgrade?

    Yes Premier should be able to handle a 1099-S.

     

    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)

    This is entered in the investment section of TurboTax. Follow these instructions:

    1. In TurboTax, search for this exact phrase: sold second home.
    2. In the search results, click Jump to sold second home, which should be at the top of your search results.
    3. Answer Yes on the Did You Sell Any Investments? screen.
      • If you get the Summary of All Accounts screen instead, click Add Another Account.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions to completion.

    I entered "sold second home" in search, the results didn't include "sold second home".
