Fair Board meeting announced -*m : O ^ § i E 1 + L f s t a t e By DAVID SYKES REALTOR md No Heating Bills Forever! S um m ep Saie $ 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 T A X B R E A K O N S A L E Q UESTIO N: What effect does the present tax law have on capital gains tax when I sell my home? ANSWER: It has a trem en dous effect and it could not be better for the homeowner. The latest tax law now allows hom eowners to avoid paying taxes on the first $500,000 o f profits in a home for joint filers, or on the first $250,000 o f profits for single filers at the time they sell the home. To make matters even bet ter, a homeowner can use this $500,000 tax exem ption re peatedly, as long as he or she lives in each house for at least two years. If you are one o f the few whose profit is over $500,000, there's more good news. The top tax rate on capital gains has dropped from 28 percent to 20 percent. For those in the lowest tax bracket, it falls from 15 percent to 10 percent. The new tax look is here and it is great for home sellers.
