CERTIFICATION FOR NO INFORMATION REPORTING (1099-S) ON PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE
This form may be completed by the seller of a principal residence. This information is necessary to
determine whether the sale or exchange should be reported to the seller, and to the Internal Revenue Service on
Form 1099-S, Proceeds From Real Estate Transactions. If the seller properly completes Parts I and III, and makes a
“yes” response to assurances (1) through (6) in Part II (or a “not applicable” response to assurance (6)), no
information reporting to the seller or to the Service will be required for that seller. The term “seller” includes each
owner of the residence that is sold or exchanged. Thus, if a residence has more than one owner, a real estate
reporting person must either obtain a certification form each owner (whether married or not) or file an information
return and furnish a payee statement for any owner that does not make the certification.
