Selling a house

Hello paj06,

Congratulations for your new job in Los Angeles!

There is an exception to the two-year rule for tax payers who sold early for a job-related move. So if you lived in the home one year instead of two, you're entitled to a percentage (in your case, 50%) of the exclusion amount.
