Tax Postponement For Home Sales In Inflation Era
When a home sells for more than its purchase price, income tax on the profit can be postponed under government rules. To qualify you must buy another home within 18 months before or after the sale and pay at least as much for the new home. Building a new house extends to 24 months. Postponement, not exemption, means taxes are deferred and will eventually be due.
