Hi,
Similar situation and Im filing online. H&R block doesn't ask the military question for me to be given the exception. I spoke with military one source to get their take on it and as long as we meet the publication 523 2 year rule we can be excluded. Meaning, you have to have lived 2 out of the 5 years in the home. If you PCSd after 2 years, they extend the time to 10 years if you were on duty >50 miles from your home. Read both publications thoroughly.
