Aircraft tax question

Was the house used solely as a personal residence?

Yes. The only thing I can think of is that we had
moved the year before. I had some renovation work
to complete on the old place, so I didn't sell it for
about 9 months. No one was living there, so, when
the tax package asked if it was our primary residence,
I answered "no."


You probably forced the software to consider it investment property,
which it wasn't. We can in provable circumstances hang onto a former
home as investment property, but 9 months of just fixing up for sale
won't make it such property in IRS eyes, no way.
