You have to have used the home as your primary residence for two out of the last 5 years. The five year date for the credit - in your case - is December 30, 2016. Exactly five years before you sold the house.
I think the program is just "thinking out loud" and letting you know it's calculation methods. To claim the capital gains exclusion, you would have to have lived in the home as your main home for 2 years (730 days) between 12/30/16 and 12/30/21. This seems to be true for you, even though the program is stating the obvious.
Do you think you are being taxed incorrectly? We need more details to follow up. Otherwise, ignore the program talking to itself.
