Q: My husband and I bought a house in 1974 and occupied it for 15 years, along with our children, and eventually paid it in full. Then, in 1989, we bought a second house and rented the first one out. In 2005, we decided to sell the first house because tenants often did not pay rent and we lost lots of money with the upkeep, insurance and such. We sold it for $84,000 and used $56,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the first house to pay off the mortgage on the second house, which we still occupy.

Owners of investment real estate benefit from Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code when their property is sold because it allows capital-gains tax on the appreciated value of investment real estate to be deferred until a future date. This is accomplished by completing an exchange of one or more properties for another, resulting in the deferral of both state and federal taxes that would otherwise be due. The advantage is that the investor has more equity available to reinvest in the next property. A common problem with the 1031 Exchange transaction is finding suitable replacement property within the 45-day identification period allowed under Section 1031. A new and growing program now provides replacement property in the form of a fractional ownership in large, institutional-quality...
The recent tax cuts enacted by the Bush administration, along with spending for the Iraq war, the Medicare Part D prescription benefit (not wanted by 67 percent of seniors according to a recent poll) have created such a federal deficit that President Bush has set up a President's Advisory Panel on Tax Reform to recommend changes in the tax code to correct the shortfall in revenue collection. Among changes being considered by the panel are some that would affect homeowners. It is argued that some of these disproportionately benefit the wealthiest homeowners: mortgage and real estate tax deductions, reduction of the capital gains taxes of $250,000 and $500,000, on single and couples, respectively. These so- called "tax breaks" for home ownership also benefit middle- and lower-income home ...

WASHINGTON, June 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Reforming the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) will spur billions of foreign investment in U.S. real estate debt and equity markets, help stabilize troubled domestic lending markets, create jobs and lead to economic growth, according to Real Estate Roundtable President and CEO Jeffrey DeBoer, who testified today on the specifics of FIRPTA reform before the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures. Citing the urgent need for capital infusion to rebalance trillions in maturing commercial real estate debt nationwide, DeBoer called for the repeal of FIRPTA as part of comprehensive tax reform efforts in Washington and detailed policy changes to FIRPTA that could be accomplished in the short term. FI...
On Dec 10, 2009, the House passed a "tax extenders" bill (H.R. 4123), which includes on a variety of tax breaks scheduled to expire at the end of 2010. This piece of legislation has several provisions beneficial to the commercial real estate industry, such as a 15 year leasehold improvement depreciation extension, as well as an extension to the current 50% bonus depreciation, allowing property owners to deduct 50% of the cost of qualifying property in addition to the regular depreciation allowance normally available. IREM submitted a joint letter with NAR and CCIM Institute urging all 100 Senators to not change the current capital gains treatment of carried interests for real estate partnerships.
During his successful candidacy for governor, Bill Haslam released data listing millions of dollars in income and taxes, contending his tax rate at times topped 48 percent on those earnings. Although Haslam's report went unchallenged during last year's campaign, a closer look at it reveals a much lower tax rate for the uber-wealthy businessman turned Knoxville mayor, then Tennessee governor.
