RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:FP TAKE On Capital Gains CHANGES For 2024bt...what you say is absolutely correct. Only your principal residence is exempty from capital gains tax.
That said, your point raises an interesting question about the new tax regime and that is the question of enforcement. The higher tax may encourage more people not to report the sale of their vacation properties or to provide numbers lower than what actually happened. It would take a lot of federal auditors to track this down especially if the property had been in family hands for decades. Will be interesting to see how Justin handles this one.
