5. Enter all relevant information on the ensuing pages
6. Be sure to answer correctly on the Time You Lived In Your Home page.  This and subsequent pages determine whether you qualify for the exclusion.

You'll need to know:

• The date you sold your home, and the selling price of your home.  These can be found on your closing statement
• The date you bought your home and the purchase price.  This, too, can be found on your closing statement
• The cost of any major improvements you made, so the program can deduct them for you
