Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Some attorneys file them for every client regardless of the circumstances, it keeps them off the hook. The IRS has no problem with getting a 1099-S and accepting that you lived there and qualify for the exemption. They know your address every year. They can see the sales price. If it looks fishy, they will let you know. Otherwise, if you sold it for a reasonable amount, it is obvious you lived there, no worries.
