Selling 2nd House... TAX Implications ?  Reply with quote  

We have a 2nd house that we bought and renovated over the last couple years. My wife and I were going to downsize and move into it but recently decided just to sell it off.

We own it free and clear and do not what the hassles or renting it out.

I need to know what the implications will be to our Taxes after we sell it.

Will this be seen as a Capital gain or what ??

You've owned it for more than one yr so your gains are longterm capital gains. Add your original cost, your reno costs, all improvements cost, real estate commssions, etc, and subtract that from your net sale. If tere is a profit, the gains tax is 15% MAX of that. Or, if you lost some money on it, that is a tax deduction.
