Question: Does home sale qualify for a Partial Exclusion of Gain for a work related move?

Details: Sam is active duty military and purchased a home in southern Florida on 21 NOV 2017 and lived there until it was rented out on 01 NOV 2019.  Sam left the area due to PCS orders to Tennessee.  The home remained a rental property until it was sold on SEP 2023.  Does Sam qualify for the partial exclusion of gain due to the PCS?

- Total Residence Time: 710 Days

- Total Ownership Time: 5 years, 9 months, 11 days excluding the end date

- Distance between work location and home >>>>>>50 Miles than old location

Thanks a bunch!!!

    Yes, it seems to qualify for the "Reduced Maximum Exclusion".

    Final exam this year is a take-home test?

    That would be a welcome scenario:-)  

    My concern is that our decision to rent the home after we PCS'd is a disqualifying factor for the partial exclusion.  There's language regarding the "main reason"  was a change in workplace location, health, or unforeseeable event.

    I have a couple of other life event occurring simultaneously (divorce, retirement planning, etc) and just need this to go smoothly and not get rocked with a huge tax hit.

     

    Again...appreciate the assist!
