Primary residence as of mid-2016. Client got married and moved to spouse's house in mid-2019. Rented her house mid-2019 till its sale expected end of 2022. Is there a way to squeeze out a portion of the 250K forgiveness for selling a house that was a primary residence for 1.5yrs.

Sell date 2022 - last used as residence 2019...so falls within 5 year period. How did you calculate the 1.5years of residence ? If she lived there mid-2016 to mid-2019, isn't that 3 years ?

My rental schedule shows rental began June 2019, and house hasn't sold yet, so I figured that's over 3 of most recent 5 years. I am looking to see if she is eligible for an extenuating circumstance to give her partial forgiveness of gain; and if she somehow qualifies, how to combine Sch D and 4797

Ok, I see why less than 2 years. Does getting married qualify as an extenuating circumstance?
The Home Sale Worksheet will work out the calculation for the rental portion vs residence exemption portion (if she qualifies).

Unless she moved out-of-town and meets the 50 mile employment Safe Harbor, I don't see it qualifying for an exclusion.
