Has anyone ever had a client make a partial sale of their residence and take the exclusion on gain of sale? I have an elderly couple who are considering making a partial sale of their residence to one of their children. The gains on the house are well i excess of $500.000. I am trying to determine if we can take an exclusion on the partial interest when it is sold to the son. Any thoughts? I would get an appraisal to prove that it is truly at FMV. They have lived in the house for over 30 years.
Thanks!
