Cap Gains on primary residence changing... 2018 tax plan

Posted

When I typed in "2018 tax plan" into the BP forums, I was surprised that I couldn't find anyone talking about the Capital Gains rule to selling your primary residence. Currently you must live in your home 2 of the past 5 years in order to avoid paying capital gains and it is now moving to 5 years in the past 8 years. (sec. 1402 of the GOP tax bill)  

I would have thought that it would be all over the forums since it greatly affects the house hacking strategies, and a lot of people who are planning to sell next season.

 That did not make it into the final bill. You can thank the National Association of Realtors for our lobbying efforts on this item.
