My husband and I bought our house in Sept 27,2018 and sold our house in May 4, 2020 lived in it less than the two years. I am con fused about the capital gain part on my turbo Tax. We have made some home improvements. The money that we made from the sell of our home we put it towards the new house. So how do I record this on Turbo Tax 

Is there a number that I can call and talk to someone directly.

thank You Kathy
