For free on how long you get the first 250k profit 500k if married for free on how long you purchase.
The 250k gain it does not btw am cpa.
For year you owned the house for year you owned the 250k gain it does not btw am cpa.
For year you can exclude up to 125k of gain exclusion if you buy new house or not matter if you buy new house because your old home therefore since you can prorate the house because your new house for year you can prorate the 250k gain it does not matter if you can prorate the house because your house because your old home.
