A business residence sold yes all of the gain would be subject to income taxes.

This could be very possible. Personal residence (main home) some of the long term capital gain could be taxable if the rules or met for this purpose.

Your Main home (primary residence) The rule for the sale of your main home (primary residence) has an exclusion amount of the long term capital gain if you meet the 2 out of 5 year rule of living in your main home (primary residence.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for Topic 701 - Sale of Your Home

In general, you are eligible for the exclusion if you have owned and used your home as your main home for a period aggregating at least two years out of the five years prior to its sale. Refer to Publication 523 for the complete eligibility requirements as well as exceptions to the two year rule.

Report the sale of your main home only if you have a gain that is not excluded from your income. In most cases, if you have a gain that is not excluded, you must report it on Form 1040, Schedule D (PDF), Capital Gains and Losses.
