$500,000.
As a married couple filing jointly who meet the ownership and use tests (owned and used the home as their main residence for at least 2 of the 5 years before the sale), they can exclude up to $500,000 of gain under IRC §121. With a $575,000 gain, $500,000 is excluded and $75,000 remains taxable.
