Home Sale Tax May Be Deferred - Many Georgia taxpayers selling their homes may be able to defer the entire tax on the profit from the sale, the Internal Revenue Service said today. John W. Henderson, IRS District Director for Geor gia, said that, to gain this tax benefit, taxpayers must buy and occupy another principal residence within one year before or one year after the sale of the old house. Additional time is allowed if (1) you construct anew residence or (2) you were on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. In addition, the cost of the new home must equal or exceed the “adjusted sales price” of the old house. In general, Henderson said, the adjusted sales price is the sale price minus selling expenses. A portion of the profit may be postponed under certain circumstances. The tax on the gain is merely postponed, not forgiven, Henderson emphasized. Any profit not taxed in the year of the sale of the old residence is subtracted from the cost of the new one. This means that amount will be taken into account when the house is sold again. However, taxpayers still can take advantage of this tax postponement feature of the law for subsequent home sales, Henderson added. Henderson also pointed out that there is a special rule applicable to taxpayers 65 or older. Further details are provi ded in IRS Publication 523, “Tax Information on Selling Your Home,” available free from IRS offices.
