Do you have questions about capital gains and the capital gains tax? For instance, do you wonder:
- What are capital gains?
- How are they calculated?
- How much is the tax?
- What is the “step-up” in basis?
- How do you qualify for the $250,000 exclusion on the sale of a home?
- What happens when property in a trust is sold?
All of these are good questions. And we have answers in our Primer on the Tax on Capital Gains. You can download it here.
If, after reading the primer, you still have questions, let me know. You can email me directly at hsm@margolisbloom.com or post your question on my AskHarry.info website.
