Deductions & credits
There is no longer any "roll over" provision in the income tax code that allows you to defer capital gain on the sale of your home; that was abandoned long ago. Instead you are now allowed, if you are single, to exclude capital gains of up to $250,000 when you sell your home, paying no capital gains tax.
