Deductions & credits

Bought 2009 (used as primary residence)

Rented 7/15/2016 (purchased another home this year to use as primary residence)

Sold 11/8/2019

 

Status:  Married, filing jointly

Question:  I am trying to determine if we qualify for home sale exclusion, partial exclusion, or none at all.   We lived in the home as our primary residence for almost 7 years.   ***Note - I am trying to determine if the exception to "period of nonqualified use" grants us the opportunity to qualify for tax exclusion as it seems we missed the mark by about 4 months).   Can we claim a partial exclusion for the 20 months we lived in it of the 5 years prior to sale?  Your help is greatly appreciated.
