Taxes on home sale
Have client who bought another home while she was waiting to sell the home she lived in since 1976 with her husband.
She bought a smaller home and has only lived in the new home for less than a year.
The other home was up for sale and finally sold for in March 2020 for 420k.
Husband passed away in 1999.
They bought the home back in 1976 for $46,000.
Improvements over time were approx. $100k (New Floors, New roof, new siding, new windows)
There is no tax on the 420k, correct?
Thank you,
Douglas
