Austin Real Estate

When individuals and families sell their homes, they oftentimes incur a gain on the sale. While this gain is usually a boost to their disposable income, they may be taxed on a portion of the gain.

In most circumstances, individuals are allowed a $250,000 exemption and married couples are allowed up to a $500,000 tax exemption on their gain. However, this exemption may only be used for home sales once every two years and is subject to other requirements.
