Capital gain question

[Domingo Cano]

Hi guys i have a question for everyone and hopefully someone can help me out about me selling my home. I bought the home in February of 2017 and i rented it out in November of 2019. My tenants are moving out this end of the month and i am selling my home. The question is am i good on keeping all of the capital gains or do i need to prepare for a 1031 exchange? I live in the house for almost 3 years and rented it for a year. Thanks in advance

 As Scott says, no need to 1031 exchange unless your basis is greater than $250,000. To figure this out, speak with your accountant who prepared your real estate income (if you did) to determine how much basis you have left. Hope that helps!
