Re: Capital gains on the sale of a new home?
Folks,
A new sales tax has been created for home sales.
This tax is built into the health care bill recently passed.
It has nothing to do with the amount of the home but rather your income.
Here is the excerpt:
unveiled today includes a 3.8% Medicare tax on investment income (interest, dividends, capital gains, annuities, rents) earned by those with incomes in excess of $200,000 (single) and $250,000 (joint).
While I don't have to be concerned with that, some do.
Now......does anyone really think it wasn't important to read all those pages?
Let's all give a shout out thank you.
