Investors and rental owners
When you started renting out the property and it was no longer your principal residence, you had a “deemed disposition”. Then you had another deemed disposition when you gave the property to your siblings. Even though you didn’t actually sell anything, for tax purposes it's treated like you sold your home, bought it back immediately as a rental, and then sold it to your siblings. So, the same forms are used even though no money actually changed hands.
