Capital Gains tax

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you could help me. My wife and I bought a residential property in 2014 and sold it in 2020. It was our main residence throughout this 6 years. I am assuming we will still need to complete a capital gains return?
If so, how do we compute the buying/selling/cost figures when it is jointly owned?
Also, I could not locate the Private Residence Relief in the online HMRC form. I am assuming once that is completed the gain should be £0.00?
Sorry if I have misunderstood capital gains tax rules, or if this has been asked before. I searched but couldnt find the answers in this forum.

If you lived in the house for the whole period of ownership, CGT does not apply to that house.Repromancer said:Hi everyone,

Thank you. Even if it means I rented out one other property in the mean time. But the property I sold was always my main residence?Slithery said:

You will need to do a CGT return if/when you sell the property that is/was NOT your main residence.
