Two primary residences both sold in 2022

Greta
Level 9

Both primary residences were consecutively lived in for 2 years out of the last five before they were rented out. They both sold in the same year. Is it OK to claim the $250 forgiveness for qualified primary residence for both in the same tax year (the gain for both together was $150K).

From the IRS:

"Generally, you're not eligible for the exclusion if you excluded the gain from the sale of another home during the two-year period prior to the sale of your home. Refer to Publication 523 for the complete eligibility requirements, limitations on the exclusion amount, and exceptions to the two-year rule."

If married and they actually lived in two separate residences, filed that way, drivers' licenses, etc,., then yes, two exclusions. 

It might be tough to prove, though.
