Mr. and Mrs. Alvarez paid $130,000 for their home 30 years ago. They recently sold this home and moved into a rented apartment. Describe the tax consequences of the sale assuming that the amount realized was: $125,000 $450,000 $850,000

The tax consequences faced by Mr. and Mrs Alvarez for the sale of their home are as follows:

a. They have a realized loss of $5,000 for situation A.

b. They have a realized gain of $320,000 for situation B.

c. They have a realized gain of $720,000 for situation C.

Data and Calculations:

Cost of the home 30 years ago =$130,000

a. Realized capital loss = $5,000 ($130,000 - $125,000)

b. Realized capital gain =$320,000 ($450,000 - $130,000)

c. Realized capital gain = $720,000 ($850,000 - $130,000)

Thus, Mr. and Mrs. Alvarez can also claim the full $500,000 exemptions to reduce their capital gain tax burdens in the three situations since they inhabited the home for more than two years.  However, their exemptions are limited to the net gain.
