Thanks, but closing agent will not be of help...his complete response to my emailed inquiry about correcting or amending the Certification form was "Not sure of a method to correct fling but when you do your return just indicate on that it was your primary residence". I'm working with an experienced CPA to do the return so we've worked out what's eligible for exclusion based on the assumption that I occupied the house 2 out of 5 years prior to sale. My only concern is trying to claim the exclusion at all given that I signed a document sent to IRS which basically says I am completely ineligible for it. Is attempting to contact IRS about this of any value here?
