@taxes96786,     I have 35+ years experience doing taxes.    My question was posted to see if the kinder people on this forum had ever heard of RENT being a qualifier for the ownership test.  I think the preparer that is doing my client's son/daughter-in-laws is full of crap as Ironman stated.   I told my client, whom is concerned his child is getting bad tax service, it is not accurate.   However, the Rent-to-Own lease option that abctax55 asked me about never crossed my mind....maybe that is why the  "full of crap preparer"  is allowing the exclusion.    

By the way, I am a SHE.      You are a Karen in most all of your posts.

Thanks for having my back @abctax55
