No, that will automatically show up on the 8949 as Sale of Main Home, you don't want that if its not the main home.

Really?  If you indicate it doesn't qualify for the exclusion, I wouldn't think it would work fine.  What does it show on the 8949 to indicate it was a main home?

when you use the Home Sale worksheet, it pulls the description to the 8949 like this, its not editable.  Even if you mark NO to the questions about living in it 2 years and the 121 exclusion.

Interesting, I didn't know that.  Thanks.

Do I just go to capital gains and enter the information about the sale there ?
