ObamaCare Real Estate Tax

Question:  "OH NO!  If I sell my home do I have to pay a 3.8% tax on the proceeds! "
Answer: " I don't know!"

Sounds like a true politician right?  Well, it is true.  It is hard for anyone to tell you that answer because it is a very detailed response.  How much do you make?  Are you married filing jointly? How much money (capital gains) will you see on your sale?

I have noted a great piece of information that will help you determine the answer!  Click here and go to the National Association of Realtors press release.

It all depends on your income - If you make less than $200,000 per year and file a single return then the answer may be NO ($250,000/year married filing jointly).
