    Capital gains is figured at around 28%. This would be just over $158,000 in taxes you might have to pay. Are you seriously asking a group of strangers to advise you concerning this much money? You need a tax professional. Call a CPA.

    This is for DEFERRING capital gains tax. The process is called a 1031 exchange Generally after a sale, you have up to a year to re invest the money into another property. I would research the laws yourself to be sure, but I thought it had to be invested into another like property. Below as read on the www.irs.gov

    Generally, if you exchange business or investment property solely for business or investment property of a like-kind, no gain or loss is recognized under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. If, as part of the exchange, you also receive other (not like-kind) property or money, gain is recognized to the extent of the other property and money received, but a loss is not recognized.

    Section 1031 does not apply to exchanges of inventory, stocks, bonds, notes, other securities or evidence of indebtedness, or certain other assets.

    Like-Kind Property

    Properties are of like-kind, if they are of the same nature or character, even if they differ in grade or quality. Personal properties of a like class are like-kind properties. However, livestock of different sexes are not like-kind properties. Also, personal property used predominantly in the United States and personal property used predominantly outside the United States are not like-kind properties.

    Real properties generally are of like-kind, regardless of whether the properties are improved or unimproved. However, real property in the United States and real property outside the United States are not like-kind properties.

    From what I know (I live in Mass) you dont have to pay capital gains IF you reinvest that money into another home, or property before the next tax year.

    I own a $200,000 dollar home, I just bought another house for $375,000. I plan on living in my new house. How long do I have before I have to sell my first home in order not to pay Capital Gains taxes. I was told must sell within a year, but was also told within two years.
