From the instructions on 1099-S
If the real estate was not your main home, report the transaction on Form 4797, Sales of Business Property; Form 6252, Installment Sale Income; and/or Schedule D (Form 1040). If box 4 is checked and you received or will receive like-kind property, you must file Form 8824, Like-Kind Exchanges.
If you use TaxCut, TurboTax, etc. it should prompt you to enter data from the form.

From my previous post...

Where you report it may depend on the value of the property, its use, and/or final profit or loss.
Sorry, I'm not a tax accountant or a tax lawyer. If you can do it on Sched D, I'd go that route since it has to be easier.

Did you figure out how to do this? I traded in a lesser timeshare for a nicer one and need to do this, as well.
Thanks!
