    Proseries Question on sale of vacation home at gain...

    Client sold a shack with land on a lake at a gain.... they received a 1099-S, correctly. It needs to go on the 8949 as long term gain, then to Schedule D.... my question is in PROSERIES, how do you get there?
    When I open the Capital Gain Detail entry worksheet, it asks if the transaction was reported on a Form 1099-B or equivalent statement, but not a 1099-S..... of course, checking that box treats the sale as a sale of stock, which is not right. But my concern is that if I don't tell the system somewhere, somehow, that I received a 1099-S, the IRS will not have anything to "match", and tell my client she did not report her gain. Is there some other way/place that I can enter a 1099-S?
    I am using their BASIC product, and their chat is not available for some reason....

    To be clear, I am very comfortable with the tax treatment, my question is ONLY about the software! Thanks for any help you can provide

    I don't know if it's the same in Basic, but on the regular version I just enter it directly on Sch D and include 1099S in the description of property.

          The Pro Series support page is pretty good also at getting answers. They do like to joke some but do give good answers.
