i bought a house in 2006. immediately, i rented out one of the rooms to offset mortgage costs. i reported rental income on tax returns and depreciated the % of the area of the house used as a rental.
in oct 2014, i moved out with my wife to a new house, and now the old house is a 100% renter occupied building. i know there's only 1 month between now and the end of october, but i'm curious if i would still be able to qualify for the 2 in 5 year rule for shielding from cap gains taxes considering that the house has always been a rental, but i was living there with it as my primary residence.
