Increased Tax Exemption for Home Sales

This new bill doubles the amount of profit from selling a primary residence that is exempt from taxes. This means individuals selling their homes can keep more of their money, potentially encouraging more real estate transactions. These changes apply to sales made after the bill becomes law.
Key points
The tax exemption for profit from selling a primary residence increases from $250,000 to $500,000 for individuals.
For married couples filing jointly, the exemption increases from $500,000 to $1,000,000.
Exemption amounts will be adjusted annually for inflation starting in 2024, ensuring their relevance in the future.
