1. Money Board
2. Don’t know how much you made off sale but you shouldn’t be taxed on it. I sold 2 houses in 2021, and had lived in both of them 2 out of the past 5 years. Looked it up and confirmed with my tax guy (FIL), some 2 in 5 year rule states no income or capital gains tax paid on sale of own home.

2/5 is just to test if you can consider it primary residence.

You can deduct 500k gain for mfj

So you won't have to pay taxes on either sale, even when you sold them during the same year?

I'm pretty much in the same boat due to getting married and both of us selling our houses in '21.

Eligibility Step 4—Look-Back
Determine whether you meet the look-back require- ment. If you didn't sell another home during the 2-year period before the date of sale (or, if you did sell another home during this period, but didn't take an exclusion of the gain earned from it), you meet the look-back requirement. You may take the exclusion only once during a 2-year period.
