1099-A For primary residence

Can the gain on a foreclosure of a primary residence be excluded on a 2018 tax return.  The agreement was finalized in 2018 and it was recourse debt.

Looking at Pub 4681 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4681.pdf page 9 indicates that the debt would have needed to be discharged before January 1st 2018 to still qualify for the Cancellation of Debt on a Primary Residence. 

As of now this has not been extended for 2018.
