Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi ThomasM125,

 

Thank you for getting back to me. You mentioned - 'You will get no immediate deduction for the cost of the new home'.  So, does that mean I end up paying tax on the entire capital gain, even though I reinvested most of that money back, and the Indian government only taxes me on the balance?

 

Can I report the entire transaction as the 'like-kind exchange' instead of the first way you suggested? That way, I won't have to pay tax on the capital gain that I reinvested.

 

Thanks.
