It depends. You are allowed to exclude the gain on the sale of your home if:
- You lived in the home as your main home for at 2 of the 5 years preceding the sale.
- Your "net" profit from the sale is less than $250,000 ($500,000 if Married Filing Jointly).
- You didn't take depreciation deduction on the home or use it for business during the time you owned it.
- You didn't rent it out at any time that you owned it.
- You didn’t receive a Form 1099-S.
Based on what you describe, you have not satisfied the residence requirement (your main home for at 2 of the 5 years preceding the sale), you may still qualify for a partial-exclusion if the main reason for your home sale was a change in workplace location, a health issue, or an unforeseeable event.
