How to Report Form 1099-S on Form 1040

Form 1099-S is filed by the closing agent to report the gross sales proceeds from the sale or disposition of real property by the seller.

The seller receives a copy of Form 1099-S, and the IRS gets a copy as well. It is important for the seller to report the transaction on their Form 1040 because Form 1099-S does not report the cost basis in the home.

So, the IRS has no idea whether the taxpayer realized a gain or loss on the sale.
