My client sold a home that he owned for 17 years in 2020. He never rented or lived in the home. I am not sure how to report this sale. 

2003 purchase price   $  49,000
2020 Upfits                  $  66,500
2020 Sale Price           $150,000
2020 Sales Costs         $      586

Right now I have it on a form 6252. However, it is not an installment sale. I hope someone can help me.

Thank you.

No.


Unless it was used in business or as a rental, there shouldn't be any depreciation to deal with on a personal home like that.

What was he storing?  Inventory and business equipment?

You need Sch D, not the 6252.  This is how I would do it, I like to keep my sales price actual just in case a 1099S was issued, I want them to match.  Use the 1099B worksheet.
