My understanding, from the worksheet in 523, is that I can take 54% of the exemption (14/24.)
You can take 54% of $250,000/$500,000.
That exclusion does not cover depreciation for the rental.
So if your gain is less than 54% of $250,000/$500,000, you will only pay tax on the gain due to the depreciation when it was rented.
