Deductions & credits

I have a similar situation and was trying to do our taxes on TurboTax.  I sold my house in October of 2018.  We bought a new one together in November of 2018.  I filed single in 2018 and was able to use the capital gains exclusion.  We married in April of 2019, sold his old house in June of 2019.   I'm trying to file us jointly, but you say that you have to make sure to state that he is the sole owner of the house and therefore entitled to his own capital gains exclusion.  ***I don't know how to delete my message.  I went back in and tried again and I was able to differentiate between the two solely owned houses.
