How do we get the forms or the necessary procedure to qualify for Exclusion on gains from sale of our rental home. We are over 66 years.

[Anita01 · Accepted solution]

The Federal tax law does not offer any exclusion on gains from sale of rental property, regardless of your age.  

If you lived in the property as your primary residence for 2 of the 5 years before sale, you may qualify for an exclusion of gains for your primary residence which, again, is unrelated to your age.  

You will still, however, owe tax on the  depreciation that you took or could have taken while the property was a rental.  Any portion of the gain over and above the depreciation amount may be excluded if you meet the primary home usage requirements.
