Reducing taxes on the disposition of a personal residence with acreage
Article Abstract:
Taxpayers forced to sell a house with acreage as separate land parcels can minimize tax liability by careful planning and use of IRC 121 and 1034. IRC 121's exclusion of $125,000 of the gain from the sale of a primary residence can be combined with a deferral of excess gain under IRC 1034 if another residence is purchased during the statutory replacement period. If these two strategies do not shelter the gain, the taxpayer might consider investing more in the new residence since IRC 1034 only recognizes as gain the amount by which the old home's sale price exceeds the price of the new one.
