I just sold my primary residence for the exact same amount that I purchased it for. During the closing, the lawyer completed a 1099 tax form. Does this mean I will have to pay income tax on the sale?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

Based on the facts and circumstances that you've provided, your attorney is likely the settlement agent and filed form 1099-S. This may only be for informational purposes (not tax) as detailed in the instructions to form 1099-S.
