In 2003, my mother-in-law bought a house and put my husband's and my brother-in-law's names on the title, rather than her own. In 2011, the house was sold, and my husband received 50% of the proceeds. We got a 1099-S from the settlement. My brother-in-law's accountant said he did not have to include the proceeds of the sale on his 1040, as this was not a main home, vacation home, or investment property. Does this sound correct?
