We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I sold my primary residence for profit, I rolled all of that profit in to a down payment for my new residence. Any tax breaks? Do I have to report it as Capitol Gains?

It depends.  You may be able to exclude the gain on the sale of your primary residence up to $250,000 ($500,000 for couple filing jointly).  You must have lived in the home for at least 2 of past 5 years before the sale.  Here is a link on the exclusion.  

 

Additionally, here is a link with information on reporting the sale in TurboTax.
