Avoiding captial gains tax without 1031 exchange

[Lynell Sonoda]

Hi BP,

I am in the beginning stages of selling my home. I do not have a replacement property right now but was wondering if there is a way to avoid paying captial gains tax without doing a 1031 exchange?

Per my accountant, estimated numbers are:

207k for capital gain

Federal would take 22k

State would want 13.5k

Any advice and help would be appreciated. If more information is needed, I'll gladly provide it!

Thank you!
