Home sellers are always interested in their tax deduction options. If you recently sold a home without meeting the basic ownership and use criteria for waiving capital gains tax, you might still be able to claim reduced exemptions if you meet certain other criteria.

Homeowners who had to sell because of a change in place of employment can qualify for reduced tax. You must prove that the job change occurred while you owned and used the home as your primary residence, and that your new job is located at least 50 miles farther from your residence than your previous place of employment.

A reduced exclusion from capital gains tax may also be granted for health reasons. If your motivation for selling your house was to obtain diagnosis, treatment or cure for a disease or injury to you or a family member, you can apply for an exclusion. Unforeseen circumstances such as death, unemployment, divorce or natural disasters may also reduce your capital gains tax. Consult a tax professional for advice about your unique circumstance.

My purpose is to help buyers and sellers Making Their Dream a Reality! To Live and Work in a prosperous environment in The Heart of Florida Keys and Key West that encourages productivity, to that we may improve the service we render to our family, friends, company, our community, our nation and, ultimately, the World. By The Way! Why is that immigrants to the United States succeed and become self-made millionaires at four times the rate of native-born Americans on a per-capita basis? and the simplest reason of all, aside from the fact that they had to have more ambition to leave their home to come here, is that they come here with a blank slate...is they come here, and they say, "Now, I'm starting all over from nothing." Many of them come here penniless, with no friends, no contacts, no ability to speak English. They have no education. They have no background. they start with nothing but a blank slate. and what they do is they say, "Now, I'm in the land of dreams. What is my dream?" (Brian Tracy). Does this resonate with you? it does with me! Now what is your dream? Thank You. Lela p.s. People don't mind trading information for good value. Please feel free to leave your email and phone number where I can communicate with you effectively.
