I have found that there is still confusion when it comes to selling your home and taxes.  Before 1997, when you sold your home you would transfer that gain into your new home to defer taxes.  When you sell your home now you don’t pay taxes on $250k of the gain for single taxpayers and $500k for married.  When they passed this exemption rule they did away with the once in a lifetime exemption and the depreciation for a personal residence.The main rule for this is that you have to live in your residence for 2 of the previous 5 years.  For a gain over the $250k/$500k exemption you will pay the long term capital gains rate for taxes.  These taxes vary but on the federal level they are around 15% for most depending on your income.  The California tax rate (among the highest in the country)  ... 10/25/2017
