Question

Help answer this question below.

We bought a home 5 months ago and I can't manage the 3 steps down into the garage and the family room. I had polio as a child and have fallen down them several times. Can we avoid paying capital gains if we sell before the two year requirement?

    Instead of selling you could change the steps into a ramp. It would probably be cheaper.

    As educator9445 said, why not think about installing a ramp, and putting a railing in beside it, to help you? Sometimes these things can be covered by health insurance. I know when I had my invalid mother with me, we asked a government worker to assess our home for rails and the like.
