Here is a brief summary of the new tax laws: An exemption of up to $250,000 of long term
capital gains for principal residence. Couples will get up to a $500,000 exemption. Exempt
amounts are reusable every two years. Maximum tax rate on capital gains over $250,000 will
be reduced from 28% to 20%. The roll over provision is gone and the only provision for the
new law is that one must occupy their principal residence for two years or more.
Penalty-free withdrawals up to $10,000 from existing and newly created "American
Dream" IRA's for the down payment of a first-time home.
Our clients are encouraged to contact a Certified Public Accountant or other tax expert regarding their tax questions.
