Paying tax on home sale

I know this is more of a real estate attorney question but I'm hoping someone here might know the answer because I'm seeing a lot of different stuff when searching online.

So I have a house im currently selling that I have owned since before my wife and I met. She also has a house she purchased before we met. We just recently bought a house together so we are selling both of our previous houses. My old house is in my name and hers is in her name. The question is, what are we looking at tax wise when both houses sell? We have been married for 4 years and stayed at her house since that time. So what im thinking is we may have to pay on my house but not hers since that was our primary residence. Does that sound accurate? We live in USA (Alabama)

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
