Selling a Home — Capital Gains
“Am I eligible for the home sale tax exclusion?”
Eligibility for the home sale tax exclusion often depends on several facts about the property and your use of it, including whether it was your main residence, how long you lived there, and whether the home was used partly for rental or business purposes. The timing and details of the sale, along with your ownership history and any prior use of similar exclusions, can also affect the outcome. In many cases, the records tied to purchase, occupancy, and improvements help determine how the gain is treated and whether any portion may remain taxable. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
