It does not appear you would meet the partial exclusion test for a work-related move. Publication 523 (extracted below) states:
"You meet the requirements for a partial exclusion if any of the following events occurred during your time of ownership and residence in the home.
- You took or were transferred to a new job in a work location at least 50 miles farther from the home than your old work location. For example, your old work location was 15 miles from the home and your new work location is 65 miles from the home."
It would appear you nor your spouse had ownership or residence in the home when the new job was obtained more than 50 miles away.
