I sold my home for little over a million dollars in 2022. In 2022, I've only making less than $40,000/yr. I am single. How much taxes will I have to pay in 2023? Is there anything to bring that cost down?

 

Thank you!

    SALE OF HOUSE

     

    If your gain was more than  $250,000 filing Single, or more than $500,000 filing Married Filing Jointly the sale must be reported on your tax return.  Whether you re-invested the gain in to another house is irrelevant.  If you  have a Form 1099-S go to Federal>Wages and Income>Less Common Income>Sale of Home (gain or loss)

    If you owned and lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years on the date of the sale, you do not have to report the home sale if the gain is less than $250K filing Single, or less than $500K filing Married Filing Jointly (and you both owned and lived in the home for at least 2 years).

    Thank you! I purchased a condo but didn't use up all the money...so I guess I'll be paying taxes with that!
