Selling a Home — Capital Gains
“Do I qualify for capital gains exclusion on my home sale?”
Whether a home sale qualifies for the capital gains exclusion often depends on how the property was used, how long it was owned and lived in as a main residence, and whether any prior exclusion was claimed on another sale. The answer can also be affected by periods of rental use, home office treatment, and any major improvements or ownership changes tied to the property. In many cases, the facts around occupancy and the type of gain involved matter more than the sale itself, so the details of the home history usually drive the tax outcome. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
