Is there any way I can avoid paying capitol gains on selling my home???
I have owned my home for only four months. My job is taking me elsewhere and need to sell my home. Any way to get around capitol gain taxes??
Additional Details
Purchase price of home was $256,000. Looking to sell for $340,000. I can't do a 1031 exchange because I do not own another piece of property. Any other way?

As long as you meet the requirements (i.e. new employment over 50 miles from former) you will qualify for a reduced exclusion exemption amount. Put plainly, normal people who own and use their houses at least two years get up to $250,000 per spouse as an exclusion when calculating the gain on sale of home for taxable purposes. For you it might be helpful to look at Publication 523 starting around page 14 from the IRS.

I would also agree with looking at any poorly performing investments that you were intending on selling. However, don't go dumping all your stocks just for this cause. You should calculate exactly who you think your gain from this is along with other factors in your income before taking any drastic strategies.

And don't consider creating fake trusts or trying to loop the system. If caught, the penalties and interest will make you sorry you did.

Holy crap, for that kind of appreciation in 4 months, you shouldn't be crying about taxes, sorry, but that is a really good return for just 4 months.

If you have any capital gains after owning the home for that short of a period of time, you did pretty well. But that aside....

You can qualify for a reduced exclusion if you buy another home in your new place of employment and the reduced exclusion may be enough to cover all your gains if they aren't very big.

Nope. Not unless you own it for a longer period of time. Well, I take that back, you could use a WHOLE bunch of capital losses to off-set it (do you have any stock that has significantly decreased in value since you bought it? It may be time to sell...)

If you are really hell-bent on avoiding capital gains, you could keep the house and rent it out.


HMMMMMM
Rent the home out and move back for an additional 20 months sometime during the next five years.

Rent the home for a year and then complete a like kind exchange (1031) for investment property.

Otherwise there may be an opportunity to get a proration back, consult a tax attorney.

If you reinvest the proceeds immediately in another property, you could qualify for a certain kind of taxs exchange. Take with a financial advisor about this as the laws are complicated.

Create a fake charity, donate it, then misappropriate it back to yourself. Write your congressman for further instructions.

Depending on your job change reasons, the IRS sometimes allows for certain 1031 tax exchange rules to become exceptions. See your tax accountant for 1031 and 1034 tax laws.
