Hi!
I have a related question. Suppose I closed on the sale of our primary residence on November 30 2022. This means that the 5 year period prior to the sale begins on November 30 2017.
On September 1, 2019, I started a new job well over 1000 miles away from this residence and worked there for a year until my wife joined me on August 1 2020. The house was subsequently rented out until we sold it.
Between September 1, 2019 and August 1 2020, I returned to live in the house for at least 28 days. 11 days in March, 2020, 12 days in May 2020 and 5 days in October 2019.
My question is, how is my use of the house on these 3 occasions within the 5 year period before the sale of the house taken into account? Could it count as 3 months? As 2?
Thanks
Kevin
