My concern is about the use test.

"They owned the home and used it as their primary residence in at least two of the five years preceding the sale of the property."

 

Does that 5 yr rule applies to selling of another house in 5 years?  The house is jointly owned by me & mom. She lived there forever. I wasn't around much in the past 5 years (if thats what the use test is saying). I went to Florida for job in 2010 and came back to visit parents & family members as most live in VA. I owned & lived that house in 1995. Doesn't that mean that I meet the 2 yr requirement?

 

I never owned another house, so VA house should be my primary house
