Updated almost 4 years ago,
Cap gain tax on primary residence if held less than 1 year
Please confirm for me.
First time home purchase for primary residence in August 2020.
Owner thinks its a good time to sell and sit on the sidelines. and will sell now and not roll the gain into another residence. Will rent.
I believe it is NOT exempt from any Cap Gain (2 of 5 year rule)
Furthermore, if held less than 1 year it will be Short term Cap Gain.
If held over 1 year, Long term Cap Gain.
If held over 2 years (and lived in) Exemption applies.
Yes / no / maybe?
Thanks
