Hello. My question regarding this is the grey area claiming "took a new job". I am under the 2 year on my primary and relocating. Technically I have not secured a job at my new area (1000 miles away) but I will when I get there.
My reason to move is also employment related. And unforeseeable events about living where my home was purchased. How can I clearly document my move for tax purposes.
I don't think it's a gray area, if you move to change jobs, that qualifies for the reduced exclusion. It doesn't say you have to have a confirmed job before you move. (However, if you did sell, move, fail to get a job, and then move back to the original geographic area, then you would probably not qualify.)
