I lived in my house for seven years. I moved in with someone else, gradually, over several months, while I was fixing up my house to put it on the market to rent. I changed the address on my driver's license at some point during that time and filed a change of address form at some point and eventually put the house up for rent.
Now I'm thinking about selling the house.
I know that to avoid capital gains tax on a property you have to have lived there for two out of the past five years, but how do I determine when that was? Do I go by tax return, date I rented it out, driver's license, change of address form...or what?
