a woman sells her home for $450 000. she had purchased it for $300 000 and has lived there for 3 years. how much will she owe to IRS due to the gain on the sale?

As a single homeowner, you are allowed to sell your house and get a $250,000 exemption on capital gains tax so long as you had stayed in the house for 2 years or more out of the last 5 years.

The woman in question has stayed in her home for 3 years when she sold it so she qualifies for the exemption.

Her capital gain is:

= Selling price - cost price

= 450,000 - 300,000

= $150,000

This is less than the exemption of $250,000 so the woman will be totally exempted from capital gains tax.

No amount will be gained by the woman

The amount that every house owner is exempted to gain is $250,000

The woman sold her house for $450,000

She purchased the house for $300,000

The gain can be calculated as follows;

$450,000-$300,000

= $150,000

This amount is less than $250,000 hence there is no gain
