DW wants me to round up my tax info and get it to the cpa Monday. We sold our snowbird condo in 2019, and I anticipate paying tax on the capital gain.
I’m just starting to research this, and it’s been almost 30 years since I sold a house that wasn’t our primary residence.
I assume that closing costs and realtors fees are subtracted from the gross gain to get to the net gain.
But what else can be subtracted? I assume the cost of improvements such as carpeting, hardwood floors, plantation shutters? can be subtracted. We also bought new appliances that were sold with the condo. Wondering if the cost of these could be subtracted from the gain as well.
Anyone have any other ideas? I just don’t want to go talk to the cpa unprepared.
