I am SO confused! If I try to take the rental house out of service from the rental section, and I say No, I did not use this home for anything other than my primary home (because my husband was in the military so it was not nonqualified use), our tax is MUCH lower than if I say Yes, we rented it for 3000 days, and still state that we were military and lived in it for 2 out of the last 15 years. If I do the latter, it says we do not qualify for the military exclusion.
I cannot see how to take the house out of service as an asset without going through the sale questions, so I can't just take it out of service and then go report it under Personal as a Sale of Home.
Please help! I've spent hours trying different ways of entering it and I can't figure out what is correct and gets us the military exclusion that I am 99% sure we qualify for. (We lived in the house for 3 years, then rented it for 8 years, then sold it.)
