Does selling a second home mean a primary home, because I qualify for the 2/5 year rule?

Under wages and income section, the question about investments, under second home. I sold a home but qualified for the primary residence 2/5 year rule, Do I answer yes when asked if I sold a second home, when this home was actually primary residence?

If the home is a primary residence that was sold, it is not considered a 2nd home (as gain is taxable income), so answer No to this question.

Go to Less Common Income section to report the Sale of Personal Residence and not in the Investments Section.
