2/5 Year Rule Primary Residence Converted to Rental

Sharon Li
Posted

I purchased my house as a primary residence back in July 2017, lived there for just over two years (until Sep 2019), then moved out due to military re-assignment. I then rented the house out for slightly over one year, and am about to sell it. Since I owned and lived in the house for at least two years, does it qualify for capital gains tax exclusion under the 2/5 rule? All the examples I found were converting rentals to primary residences, wasn't sure if the same applied the other way around as long as I met the 2 year ownership/residence requirement.
