Now to get a possible  answer from the forum  faster than monday please post back the answers to these questions ...

>Is the surviving spouse filing a joint return ?   If not when did the spouse die ?   

>Have you recomputed the basis of the home to account for the stepped up basis as of the date of death ?  And if you did is the profit still more than $250K ?
