Several variables work into the capital gains tax calculation:

1. Property Tax Base/ Original Purchase Price
2. Sale price of the property
3. Total $ amount of home improvements made (kitchen remodel, new windows, see page 9 of IRS Publication 523, “Selling Your Home”  and consult your CPA or certified financial planner)
4. How you own the property: as a married couple or single person ($500k/$250K tax exemption)
5. Your tax bracket** (based on income level) which INCLUDES your home sale profits for that tax year
6. Cost of sale

**Please consult your financial planner or CPA for the best answer in your situation. If you need a recommendation, please contact me.
