Mr. Lombatto: Since you asked....(no apology necessary)...here's a real life lesson in complete compliance with IRS regulations regarding gains on real estate. When I married my bride five years ago, she sold her home after living in it for 7 years. Big gain, but under $250,000: NO TAX. Shortly thereafter she inherited her mother's home, which had appreciated some $213,000 since being purchased by her parents. However, tax laws say new cost basis equals value at death of owner: NO TAX. I owned a residence (which I had lived in for 22 yrs), which appreciated 683% since purchase, but we got the marital deduction: NO TAX. We then tore down the vacation home I owned and parlayed the above real estate proceeds into our new permanent residence. The vacation home more than doubled in value since purchase: NO TAX on conversion of a rental/vacation home to permanent residence. To keep this "on-topic," there was one major downside: My assets suffered a major consolidation on higher than average volume the day I paid my ex-wife her share of the proceeds from my residence and the vacation home. Just not gonna go there....!
