Deductions & credits

Good answer - filling in the one unspecified piece of information, you could have gotten married December 30 and closed the sale December 31 and still qualify, provided that each of you had used the house as your primary residence for 2 of previous 5 years, up to date of sale.  Test is use, not marital status.  (Doesn't require the same two years)
