The current federal limit on how much profit you can make on the
sale of your principal residence (that you have held for at least 2
years) before you pay capital gains tax is $500,000 for a married
couple and $250,000 for a single homeowner. However, if you are
moving due to job relocation, a change in health, or some other
unforeseen circumstance, you may be eligible for partial exclusion
even if you have owned the home for less than 2 years. There are
some limits. Consult your tax advisor. |
