Thus, a taxpayer forced to sell after a year would be entitled to ½ of a full $250,000 exclusion.Īn exclusion of $500,000 is available to joint filers with respect to a particular residence if (i) both spouses meet the use test (ii) either meets the ownership test and (iii) neither has claimed an exclusion within the last 2 years. The partial exemption is based on the portion of the two-year period in which the taxpayer satisfies the ownership and use tests. The following rules ease compliance: (i) the ownership and use tests may be satisfied at different times during the 5-year period (ii) aggregation of noncontinuous periods is permitted in satisfying the use test (iii) short absences (e.g., vacation or rental) are ignored and (iv) residence at the home on the sale date is not required.Ī partial exclusion for a sale occurring prior to 2 years may be claimed if the sale was precipitated by a change in place of employment, health reasons or “unforeseen circumstances” as articulated in the (as yet unpromulgated) regulations. To qualify, the taxpayer must own and use the principal residence for 2 of 5 years prior to the sale date. IRC § 121 now provides for an exclusion of $250,000 which may be claimed every 2 years. The 1997 Tax Act eliminated the rollover gain provision as well as the one-time $125,000 exclusion for persons 55 years or older.
