Default Re: Capital gains tax question for sale of house

Correct...if you rent it for 4 after living in it for 2, you would need to live in it for another 2 years. Of course, if you just rent it for 3 after living in it for 2, then it would qualify.

No, the exemption is on captital gains...so, that's 250/500k of "profit" (meaning sales price minus adjusted cost basis) which is exempt from taxation.
