My point is that we would have sold it sooner rather than later if we could have and now we're going to pay a ridiculous amount of tax on it as well as I'm screwed now because I already contributed my to my Roth IRA and this will put us over the income limit - which was not my fault. No planning would have avoided that. We expected to sell the house for $220K and by the time we had everything done and go to go, the market had it at $260K. What a wonderful stupid country we live in. Getting penalized now for trying to save for retirement and now "we make too much". Please we're no where near rich but the IRS thinks I am...
