Taxpayer and spouse want to sell their primary residence to their son and take advantage of the IRC code sec 121 $500,000 exclusion of capital gain. As long as the residence is sold to the son at fair market value is section 121 allowed when it involves a related party.

Is related party or FMV even an issue?
Retired, no salvage value.

In order to be a valid arm's length transaction, the sale to the related party should be at FMV?
If the sale to the son is at a value less then FMV does that constitute a gift?

Not a section 121 issue. Wasn't that the original question?
Retired, no salvage value.

My understanding is that a sale to the owner's S corp will also qualify.
