I sold a second home and received a 1099-S. I cannot find where to enter it in TT. I realize this is an investment transaction but it is not listed among the investment choices. The search gives a lot of answers which do not work. It says to click the "Jump Link". There is no jump link. A related question is where to enter the home improvements which were made to the second home.

    That is correct; it is not listed among the choices. As a result, you enter it in the same manner as if you had sold a stock, bond, or mutual fund and you can input something like "second home" in the description. 

     

    Note that you will have to indicate the home was held for personal use if you have a loss (which is not deductible).
