Deductions & credits
@frank790628 , assuming that what you are trying to achieve is to avail yourself of the main-residence exclusion of capital gain from taxation ( $250,000 for each qualified filer).
The requirements for this are : (a) Ownership -- at least one filer ( for a joint return ) must have owned the property for two years; (b) Qualified Use --- each filer must have used the property as his/her main residence for a total of 730 days during the past five years ( starting with the date of sale "closing" ); (c) Time Limit ---- filers must not have used this exclusion during the last tow years ( starting from the date of sale of the asset ).
Given the above I do not understand your worry.
As I see it , for property A ( bought in 2018 ) (1) satisfies the ownership ( will be more than 2 years required ) ; (2) satisfies the USE requirement ( sell in 2024, have been using as main residence for 730 days during the intervening 5 years i.e. 2 years met within a five year window of 2024 and 2019 ) ; (3) you have not sold another main home during 2024 and 2022.
Does this make sense ?
Is there more I can do for you ?
