W Properties announces tips to sellers on how to avoid capital gains when selling a house to ensure they can walk away with more money in their pocket. Although sellers may receive a competitive offer for the property they’re selling, it doesn’t mean that they’ll get to keep all of the profit because the IRS will want their share with taxes levied on capital gains.
W Properties advises sellers to take advantage of tax breaks if they’ve owned the property for at least two years and have lived in the home for at least two years of the last five years. The two years don’t have to be consecutive. Selling the home quickly can also allow the seller to avoid paying capital gains. Reducing capital gains is also possible if homeowners keep thorough records of home improvements that have been performed on the property.
