Does selling primary home affect ACA subsidy?

This question is prompted by the posts about selling a second home. But someone also posted about the mom selling her house in 2011 affecting SS.

So - does selling a primary home (profit less than $300,000 total for a married couple with more than five years in the home) affect an ACA subsidy?

Thanks for any insight.

No, it wouldn't even show up on your tax return because of the $500,000 exclusion.

But what if it were over the exclusion? Would a $100K cap gain on a $600K house sale make it to the AGI bottom line?

The $500K is the cap gain exclusion (MFJ). For singles, it's $250K.

e.g. You and your wife bought a house for $200K and sold it for $700K, then the $500K is excluded. Now if you sold the house for $750K instead, that 50K's gonna show up. I think closing and selling costs are also excluded.
