I sold a home in 2017 (not my main residence since 2012). My ex-wife lived in the jointly owned house. Do I report my gain in Other Income or Investments section?

Kept the house so kids could keep living there and go to same school. Can I still exclude capital gains even though it wasn't my main residence.

Yes, if you were separated or divorced prior to the sale of the home, you can treat the home as your residence if you are a sole or joint owner and former spouse is allowed to live in the home under a divorce or separation agreement and uses the home as her main home.
