Answer:

$0

Explanation:

A single taxpayer like Myles, can exclude up to $250,000 in capital gains when selling their house if they meet the following criteria:

  1. have owned and lived in the house for at least 2 of the last 5 years ⇒ Myles only owned and lived in the house for 18 months, so he doesn't qualify.
  2. you can only use this exemption once every 2 years
