  • In this video, I talk about selling your primary home and how you can get away with not paying any taxes! Capital gains have to be considered when selling a home but due to some fun things in the tax code, you may be able to exclude most, if not all of your capital gains.

    How does all of this fit into investment properties? Maybe a video in the future.

    So for landlords. Can a landlord rent a property for 10 years and come back & live in the rented property for 2-5 years as primary resident and avoid capital gain tax like that?

    My fiancee and I lived together in the same home for 20 years. We never married. A few years ago we refinance that home as joint tenants with rights of survivorship to protect each other in the event of a death. We sold the home in January 2021 for $428,100 and received a 1099-S from the title company showing gross proceeds of $428,100, but the allocation (as stated on the 1099-s) says 50%.
    The actual gain on the property (selling price+ improvements less the total basis) was $260,795. We pass all of the ownership/residence/look back tests. We file our taxes as single individuals. How do we complete forms 8949, Schedule D and 1040? We are hoping that we can just split everything 50/50. By doing so we can both have capital gain exclusions. Am I on the right track?

    Does it have to be exactly two years down to the day I'm trying to sell my house and I'm shy about three months of the two years but I've been living there for about 10 years as my primary residence it was a rental I just bought it paid $18,000 cash put about $70,000 just in plumbing electrical ... Plus another I'd say $30,000 in siding windows.. biggest concern is when I sell the house do they automatically take the capitals gain out right away or do I owe it later. I live in Michigan please help. I passed all the real estate questions except for living there for two years exactly.

    I added gutters to the home I sold which did not have any. Is this considered an improvement or a repair? I want to increase my basis when filing my tax return on Form 8949. Also, I widened the driveway which I have no receipts, it was cash only ($1,000). Will IRS accept photos and/or Advertisement/Agent Report from the Realtor where she states that the driveway was widened recently. Thanks

    Im selling my primary only after 6 months. There will be a short term gains of 375k. Is there any way to lower the gain? Within the 6 months I replaced roof and other major upgrades like HVAC ducting and insallation. I spent over 50k in improvments. Can that 50k be subtracted from 375k capital gain or added to purchase price of property?

    Hi Nguyen!

    Purchased $140k . Sold $315k.
    Gain $175k (exemption)
    1st house was purchased in 2014
    13718 Ochre Ln.
    Will list for sale on April 2022
    Purchased price $142k.
    Will be sold for $420k
    Will be gain $278k
    I moved into 1st home after I sold my second house.
    Since i purchased this house in 2014 i rented it out until feb 2020. Then i moved back into this house as my primary home since March 1st 2020.
    How is capital gain working on this scenario?
    Is $250k deduction only apply 1 time for lifetime?
    I live in California and both two houses are in CA.
    Thanks for taking time to read this.

      Exclusion is good after 2 years from the first sale. Exclusion doesn't include depreciation recapture

    If I inherited my home from my parents, say in 1995, and the home was worth $500,00 at the time, and now I sell the home, as a single person, for 2.8 million… what would I owe in capital gains?

    Do you need to own the home for 5 years and have it as a primary for 2 years to benefit from the exclusion? Or do you just need to own it for 2 years out of the last 5? Thanks

    To qualify for the 121 exclusion of $250,000, do I need to qualify for all the tests or meet at least just one of the tests?

    Can you expand? Purchase home for $215K . Sold for $975K. Minus Capital Improvements blah, blah, blah. Capital Gain exemption filing Joint $500k
    So 975-216-capital Improvements = 709. The question is out of $709K - 500K = $209K taxed on 15% ? Thanks
