I've read many of the publications, the 2013 and 2019 Publication 523s most helpful and clear with examples. However, are you saying I don't even have to consider the period 1/1/2009 - 11/24/2014? I ONLY have to deal with the 5 year period preceding the sale? Which would be from 5/1/2015 to 5/1/2020. That would be great because here I was counting all the days from 1/1/2009 that we were not living in the property.
