I wanted to verify my understanding from any tax experts out there …
DW and I have a rental property that we are planning to sell next year. I assume as long as the capital gains (combined with my dividends) are less than $78,750 then we owe nothing for capital gains tax.
So, let's assume:
Sell the house: $400k
Purchased the house 5 years ago: $300k
Realtor fees, closing costs, and remodel costs: $40k
Net Profit (Capital Gain): $60k
Assume dividends from investments: $10,000
No other capital gains.
Since Net Profit plus Dividends ($70k) is less than $78,750 then we owe no capital gains tax.
Assume total depreciation over the 5 years rental: $12,000
Depreciation recapture (I believe is 25% of amount depreciated): $3,000
So, total net profit is $57k
Is that all correct? Also, I assume if we go over $78,750 in profit then I am only taxed 15% for the amount above $78,750.
TIA
