Thank you. Let's say the closing date my previous home was September 15th. Does this home need to have the closing date as September 15th? or can it be any day in September?.


September 16, or later.

 

Eligibility Step 4—Look-Back

Determine whether you meet the look-back requirement.

If you didn't sell another home during the 2-year period before the date of sale (or, if you did sell another home during this period, but didn't take an exclusion of the gain earned from it), you meet the look-back requirement. You may take the exclusion only once during a 2-year period.
