Deductions & credits

It depends on how your closing was written.

Did you get the full sales price, less $10,000 expense, less other closing expense?

That's what it should be, based on what you said.

 

If your capital gain exclusion (  $500,000 for married) eliminates your taxable amount, you owe nothing and get nothing.

 

Agents will lie as needed to make the sale happen.
