Selling your home? This trick will eliminate your capital gain obligation! 🏡 Here’s how you can potentially save big:

✔️ Primary Residence Exclusion: If you’ve lived in your home for at least 2 out of the last 5 years, you can exclude up to $250,000 of capital gains if you’re single, or $500,000 if you’re married.

✔️ Partial Exclusion: Didn’t live there for 2 years? You might still qualify for a partial exclusion if you sold due to work, health reasons, or unforeseen circumstances.

✔️ Home Improvements: Keep records of home improvements. They add to your home’s basis and reduce your capital gains.

✔️ 1031 Exchange: If you’re selling an investment property, consider a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains by reinvesting in a similar property.

✔️ Consult a Tax Professional: Always check with a tax professional to ensure you’re taking advantage of all possible exclusions and deductions. Save money and keep more of your hard-earned equity!
