What am I left with after I sell or exchange my house?
Hi Team,
I'm about to sell or do a 1031 on a home and I can't get a straight answer on what I'll be left with afterwards. I definitely don't want to be blindsided come tax season. I owe 200k and will be selling for 300k. Could someone smarter than me explain/breakdown what I'll be left with to either re-invest (in the case of a 1031) or pocket (if I decide to go that route)? What's the cost break down? The property has been a rental for 15 years and I'll be using a real estate agent. I've re-financed 3 times. I use depreciation as a tax right off every year.
1. If I sell the house and pocket the cash what will I walk away with and what kind of taxes can I expect to pay? What's the cost beak down? When do I pay those taxes? Do I have to pay for all the years of depreciation?
2. If I do a 1031 exchange, how much will I have to re-invest? How do I structure the deal to be a 1031 exchange and at what point do I need to address the sale from a tax perspective?
You rock for giving the clueless a clue. Thank you for your help in advance.
