Retirement tax questions

the look back period being five years,  and as you say you have had the property for rent for all of those five years -- therefore it will be classed as  income property --- no gains exclusion allowed.  Where it gets troublesome when you  convert a home ( main residence  )  to income property, you need to keep track of both the original basis ( acquision cost plus cost of improvements during qualified use) and the FMV at the time of comnversion.  Gain or loss is computed using both , further adjusted for  allowable depreciation , improvements etc.  But TurboTax will walk you through all of these issues.  If you need more   & specific help, please add your questions  as comment
