Question

If my tax returns for 2021-2022 state my address as the home I sold this year. does that qualify for the home exclusion. It states the 2 out of 5 rule.

The address on your tax returns is not a direct factor. 

 

From the date of the sale, look back 5 years.  Of those 5 years, was the home your "Principal Residence" for at least 730 days?
