Can I use the Section 121 exclusion on my NYC co-op?

Yes. The IRC §121 exclusion applies to any property that qualifies as your principal residence, including co-op apartments. Co-op shares represent your ownership interest in a housing cooperative, and the IRS treats them as qualifying property for the exclusion. You must meet the same two-of-five-year ownership and use requirements that apply to condos or houses.
