Hello, If I sell my property, I’ll get $48,000 over what I paid. I’ve only owned/lived there for 7 months. What will be the taxes I’ll have to pay (I’m in Oregon)? I’ll have to pay State and Federal right? What percentage can I expect to pay? Our other income is only $15,000 this year if this helps. Thanks, Jason

Yep…they are right! State and Fed! If you are just considering selling, I would live in it for at least another year and half. Perhaps, I should be asking why are you considering to sell it? Do you have to move? Or just need the cash out?

Can you wait another year and five months to sell it? If you sell it after you have lived there for at least two years, you will not have to pay any capital gains tax.

and will owe to Feds, probably 28% to the Fed, or about $13,000.

You can do a 1031 Exchange. You have a certain amount of time to reinvest into another RE property.

I don’t need to sell. I don’t need the cash. I’m just selling because it’s a good profit. There’s alot of things I could do in a year and a half with $36,000.
