Can I choose to pay half of the deferred capital gain with the 2025 tax return and half with the 2026 return given that I would capture the 10% exclusion of capital gain with the 2025 tax return and won't be able to capture more before the deadline of Dec 2026 (unless congress decides otherwise).

@Megan Mason recommend you watch some of the videos from @James Wise youtube channel on S8 evictions.We've been dealing with S8 tenants for over 20 years and they are NOT a cure-all for rent collection challenges.Since rents in Class A & B areas exceed S8 limits, most of your S8 rentals are going to be in Class C/D areas. 

I choose to just for the tax benefits.
