Principal residence sales - NEW for 2016 & 2017 onwards

Starting in 2016, personal tax returns must report that a sale of a principal residence took place, even though it may be tax exempt.  Failure to do so could result in CRA considering it a taxable capital gain. Further, starting in 2017, the designation must be officially disclosed by filing a T2091 form with the personal tax return.
