#122797 - I think that number is more like $250k Responding to: ???'s previous message |
As of 1997 if you make more than $250k capital gains on selling your PRIMARY residence (single owner, double it if you are married), then you pay tax. I think you can avoid it if you buy a more expensive place. But bottom line for most people is they won't have to pay tax on selling a house. I think it also depends on how long you lived there. If it was a very short period then you get stung. |
