My job forced me to relocate 1,000 miles away and paid all the costs. I made about $32,000 on my only home and lived in it for about 2 years. The "about" is the issue. Is the day I sold it the day the relocation plan gave me cash for the house (because a sale to the buyer seemed imminent)? Or is it two months later when they closed with the buyer, who had delays getting the loan? During those two months, I was not living there, but I paid the utilities and mortgage because they couldn't change the name, but the relocation plan reimbursed me later. The reason I ask is it affects whether I owned the house for 2 years, and if not, then I don't think TurboTax handles the exception on capital gains if you had to move for your job.
The relocation plan issued me a 1099-S and it does list the earlier date as the closing date.
