testamentary trust- sale of primary residence

A testamentary trust was created in 2014.   The Primary residence was part of the trust.   It recently sold at a loss.  Can the trust take this loss?   or since it was the primary residence the loss is not allowed?   

Thank you in advance for your help

When did the testator die?

How was the house being used between date of death and date of sale?

 

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Passed away in 2014.  Spouse has been using it as a primary residence since then and up until the date of sale.

No loss allowed since it was used personally by a beneficiary.
