I have a quick question regarding exclusion of gain from sale of principal residence...mainly for state tax. I had thought that this same exemption applied to state taxes as well (particularly CA) but I was unable to find anywhere specifically. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to whether the below exemption applies to states as well (NC & CA) to include the extension provided to active duty military? I fall under the federal rules but wanted to make sure it applies to states as well.
Thanks!
Mike
26 U.S. Code § 121 - Exclusion of gain from sale of principal residence

(B)Maximum period of suspension
The 5-year period described in subsection (a) shall not be extended more than 10 years by reason of subparagraph (A).
Thanks!
