It seems like you may have
entered the information backwards, or answered a question incorrectly. If you
enter that you sold the home on 08/29/2016 (the first date you enter) and
bought the home on 08/23/2013, you’ll get a question asking if you lived in the
house for at least 24 months since August 29, 2011.
Then, as long as you only used
the home as your principal residence, and didn’t sell another home after August
29, 2014 or claim any depreciation, you should be able to exclude the gain on
the sale from tax. That’s the result I get when I enter a sale with those
dates.
Please go over the section again
