I am not in military or moved because of foreign service orders. Its an IT consultant job.
I had another meeting with HR Block today & they insured me I am still eligible. They said that the 5 yr rule applies to selling of the house. If I have not sold any house in 5 yrs I meet to exclude my gain. Also, since my mom lived there, our gain is excluded. Since I have lived in the for 18+ yrs, I meet the use test
