My guess is that Turbotax asked if you had sold a house two years prior to the May 2015 sale, and wasn't asking about your future plans. In any event, Lisa's advice is correct - amend your 2015 return and take the capital gains exclusion so you do not pay tax on the May 2015 sale. Unless you qualify for a partial exclusion on the 2016 sale, you are out of luck there.
