Hello rbbice,

 

Here is general answer without knowing where the home was located. If this was your primary home, located in FL and you lived and owned this home 2 out of 5 years, you are eligible to exclude gain of up to $250,000 for single and $500,000 married joint return. Assuming this was FL home, there will be no tax due to MA. Also MA follows same rule as federal for primary home sale.
