Deductions & credits

I can't answer whether or not TurboTax is going to add the remainder interest exemption, and you probably won't get an answer to that question on this forum (at least not from anyone that really knows).  Qualifying to exclude a gain based on eligibility due to a remainder interest exception are not common; therefore, it is one of the tax scenarios that isn't supported by the software.  You can still claim the exemption.  Answering the questions regarding time living in the house in order to get the program to give you the exemption will not cause any problems. That information is only used by TurboTax.  Those answers are not a part of your tax return and are not included in what is transmitted to the IRS.
