Report a half year of rental income and expenses, enter 6/1/20 as date sold with amount left blank, print the depreciation report for use down the road. This should have been covered in some class you took.

If he sold the rental in the same year he stopped renting it, it did not become his main home for exclusion.

Complete the Home Sale Worksheet for house taxpayer had as principal residence before making the rental his principal residence.    And report on Schedule E all rental activity (income/expenses/depreciation) that occurred prior to taxpayer converting rental to principal residence.  See Camp1040 reply regarding entering sale date to stop depreciation.

I missed the point of two different properties, I thought the OP was asking about a single propety.

I'm not positive there are two properties just going on an assumption. 😁
