I am selling my family estate home (Used presently as rental property) to my daughter. Is there any capital gains tax exemptions/reductions for that?
Also, If we take the cap gain money and paid off our personal home mortgage would it be exempt from tax?
Off the top of my head without looking on the IRS website, I think there is a time limit and a cap for the property. For example, if you have owned the property for 24+ months, and your profits from the sale were $500k or less it's not taxed.
24 months personal residency out of last five years of ownership will qualify the property for capital gains exclusion.
