On August 8, 2020, Sam, single, age 62, sold for $210,000 his principal residence, which he has lived in for 10 years, and which had an adjusted basis of $60,000. On November 1, 2020, he purchased a new residence for $80,000. For 2020, Sam should recognize a gain on the sale of his residence of: a.$130,000 b.$25,000 c.$50,000 d.$0 e. None of these choices are correct.

d. $0

Explanation:

IRS rules state that if a person sells their principal residence in which they have lived for at least 2 of the last 5 years, they are not to be taxed on up to $250,000 of profit.

Sam had lived in the sold house for 10 years and this was his principal residence so it qualifies for the above provision.

Gain = Selling price - Basis

= 210,000 - 60,000

= $150,000.

This gain is less than the $250,000 allowed so Sam would recognize a gain of $0.

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
