Deductions & credits

I am assuming both owners were married to each other in 2016 and they are filing a joint tax return. If thats your case, since only one of the two owners on the deed lived in the house for 2 of the last 5 years, the capital gains exclusion amount would be $250,000 only. That is of course, assuming this sale is being reported on a joint tax return.
