How to correct mistake on Certification for No Information Reporting on the Sale or Exchange of a Principal Residence
In December of 2021 I sold my previous home after having rented it to family for a couple of years. At closing I signed a Certification For No Information Reporting On The Sale Or Exchange Of A Principal Residence form indicating that I had not lived in the house 2 out of the 5 years prior to sale. My recollection at the time was that this was probably correct but after piecing together my history in that house from emails and other sources, I realize now that I did live in that house 2 out of those 5 years and that I should be eligible to exclude capital gains on the sale. I am assuming that the information on this form has been submitted to IRS (although I did not recieve a 1099-S). I have not yet submitted my 2021 return (I am aware it is past due). Is there any way to amend/reverse what I've incorrectly stated on the Certification form to the IRS prior to submitting that return? Thanks.
