So, I have an interesting situation. I sold my old home on 3-7-2020 and realized a gain, so I used the exemption on this year’s return. I have currently lived in my new home for more than two years, but I should not be able to claim the exemption again if I sell my new home now (3-2021). However, I am planning to move out of state and change jobs, so my question is, since I will realize yet another gain on this new house, can I avoid capitol gains taxes by using the exemption of “moving jobs”, or is that considered the same as the first exemption? From what I have read you may exempt under those “moving” circumstances even if you have not lived there for two years (which I have anyway) but it is not clear on whether you have taken the other exemption within the 2 years of the previous sale date from the regular exemption... Thank you for any help. (Hopefully I was clear on all that. Also, both gains will still mot exceed the 250k exemption for filing joint)
