Do You Have to Pay Capital Gains Tax When You Sell Your House? - CountyOffice.org

Do You Have to Pay Capital Gains Tax When You Sell Your House? When selling a house, understanding the implications of capital gains tax is essential for homeowners. In this video, we will cover the fundamentals of capital gains tax as it relates to real estate transactions. We will explain how the Internal Revenue Service defines capital gains and what constitutes a profit when selling a property. Additionally, we will discuss the exclusions available to homeowners under certain conditions, which can significantly reduce tax liabilities.

One of the key factors in qualifying for these exclusions is the residency requirement; you must have lived in the home as your primary residence for at least two of the last five years. We will explore the criteria to meet this requirement and the potential consequences if they are not satisfied. Furthermore, we will highlight the importance of maintaining accurate records of your purchase price and any improvements made to the property, which can affect your adjusted basis.

For personalized guidance tailored to your specific situation, consulting with a tax professional is highly recommended. They can provide clarity on your capital gains tax obligations and help you navigate this complex topic.
