Preguntas Frecuentes
What counts as a capital improvement?
Capital improvements add value, extend life, or adapt a property to new use. Examples: new roof, kitchen remodel, room addition, HVAC replacement, new windows. Repairs and maintenance (painting, fixing leaks) are not capital improvements.
Can I avoid capital gains tax by buying another property?
For your primary residence, you can use the $250,000/$500,000 exclusion every 2 years. For investment property, a 1031 exchange defers (not eliminates) capital gains by exchanging into a like-kind property within strict timelines.
How is the primary residence exclusion applied?
You must have owned and used the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the 5 years before the sale. You can use the exclusion once every 2 years. Married couples filing jointly can exclude up to $500,000 if both meet the residency requirement.
