Tax law changes

Hi JACQUESRABITTE

 Thanks for your question. So the exclusion amount for a married couple filing jointly is 500,000. You can exclude up to that amount under the following conditions: You must have owned and used the home for 2 of the prior 5 years and you can only use the exclusion once every two years. Any gain over 500k will be taxable. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/home-ownership/tax-aspects-of-home-ownership-selling-a-home/L6t...   Thanks for your question!
