We sold our home prior to 2 years due to unforeseen circumstances (an attempted break in.) IRS 523 says we get a prorated exclusion on the gain, but your software says no
When I read "IRS Publication 523, Selling Your Home" it sounds like we get a prorated exclusion on the gain (lived there for 20 months), because it was due to unforeseen circumstances (my wife was accosted outside our house, ran inside, and the person tried to break in.) Due to unforeseen safety concerns we decided to sell our home. I believe that the gain on the sale should be excluded, but when I answer the questions in Turbo Tax the software says that we don't and owe taxes on the gain. I'm confused. Please help
