Hello,

Home2  ( New Primary Residence purchased in Jun-2023 and moved there )

 

Jun-2015  => Home1 was purchased $400000 and moved into Primary Residence.

 

Jun-08-2023 => Obtained HELOC (home equity line of credit) $200000 on Home1 to use amount as down-payment for Home2 (New Primary Residence)

 

Jun-09-2023 => Home2 purchased $850000 (New Primary Residence), using $200000 HELOC amount as down-payment for Home2

In few days, moved into Home2 (New Primary Residence)

 

Aug-2023 => Sold Home1 (Primary Residence till Jun-2023) in $600000
    => Re-paid HELOC amount $200000 and closed HELOC, and
    =>  $350000 from proceed paid towards principle of Home2

 

Please help me for questions I have:

 

1) How to enter transactions in Turbotax to avoid Capital Gains Tax on $200000 proceed on sale of Home1 Primary Residence ?

2) Is HELOC Interest Tax Deductible in this situation?
