Selling a Home — Capital Gains
“Can I claim the home sale tax exclusion?”
Whether the home sale tax exclusion applies often depends on how the property was used, how long it was owned and lived in as a main home, and whether any prior sales or ownership changes affect the result. In many cases, the details of residency, mixed personal and rental use, and the timing of the sale shape the analysis. Records such as purchase documents, improvement costs, and closing statements can also matter because they help determine the gain and what portion, if any, may qualify for exclusion. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
