Tax help for military filers
Since there is no way to indicate military when showing that your rental was also your personal home, you will have to enter your sale through Sale of Home and show the depreciation recapture.
You have to sell as a personal home sale and mark "Military" for 'Other reason for sale".
If this was a rental property you have to know the total depreciation to enter.
The home sale screen will go back 5 years to 2011, you have to work around that as reading it as 2006 for your practical situation the last 5 years will not count;...lived in for 24 months, yes, and so on as asked.
The new law allows persons on qualified extended duty in the U.S. Armed Services or the Foreign Service to suspend this five-year test period for up to 10 years of such duty time.
