What counts as my gain when selling a home?
Your gain on a home sale is generally the difference between your sale price and your adjusted cost basis, which includes your original purchase price plus qualifying capital improvements you made along the way. Selling costs like closing fees typically reduce that gain further. Joel Boss can help identify which of your records matter, but a CPA should calculate your exact taxable gain before you rely on the number.
