Sale of Personal
Property Subject
To Income Tax
The sale of a personal resi
dence is subject to special Fed
eral income tax return rules,
A. C. Ross, Director of Internal
Revenue for the Georgia Dis
trict, reminded Georgia tax
payers today.
The general rule, he explain
ed. is that any profit from the
sale of your home, or any other
personally owned item of pro
perty such as an automobile,
furniture, securities or real es
tate is subject to tax.
On the other hand, Mr. Ross
said, Federal tax law does not
permit a deduction for the loss
from the sale of a home or other
personal asset which was not
held for the purpose of produc
ing income.
He added:
“There is, however, a special
rule which allows you to defer
paying a tax if you sell your
residence at a gain and, with
in either one year after or
one year before the sale, you
buy and accupy another resi
dence costing as much or more
than the sales proceeds of your
old residence.
“The same rule applies, if in
stead of buying, you begin con
struction of a new home with
in one year before and one
year after the sale of the old
residence and occupy it within
18 months after the sale.
“If the sales proceeds of your
old residence exceed the cost
of your new residence, the
gain on the sale is taxable to
the extent of the excess. For
example, if you paid SIO,OOO
for your old residence, sold it
for $15,000, and invested only
$13,000 in a new one, you would
pay tax on a gain of $2,000
($15,000 minus $13,000).
Dividends Same
On Gl Insurance
ATLANTA — Over five mil
lion GI insurance policy hold
ers will share in the 1960 divi
dend of $253 million, Pete
Wheeler, Director of the State
Department of Veterans Ser
vice reports.
The dividends, which will be
approximately the same as in
1959 for each individual, are
primarily a refund of premiums
made possible by the low death
rate among the group. Pay
ments will be made as near as
possible to the anniversary date
of the policy.
Earlier this year Wheeler
urged a study of the interest
rates paid by the government
on funds it borrowed from the
NSLI, following a report by
Congressman Teague. An in
crease in the rate would make
larger dividends possible for
the veterans.
