Zero Capital Gains for lowest income brackets
Seller is single and reports W-2 income of $10K. Property being sold is non owner occupied inherited property, owned 10 years. Never treated as income property as it was always vacant. Property basis is $100K, property sale is $165K.
So the seller is in the lowest two income brackets so is eligible for some tax free capital gains, correct? Up to what amount? Is it the difference between the $10K income and $36K max for single people, so the first $26K is zero capital gains?
At what rate is the remainder taxed?
