Sorry I misunderstood - under the old plan there was a $250k exemption of whatever you call it. Getting rid of that raises taxes on the middle class for sure!

You're still correct about the exemption, but the residency requirement would be changed from 2 of the previous 5 years of ownership to 5 of the previous 8 years.

So, my example of someone moving say after 4 years of ownership would see any capital gain on the house taxed, whereas previously they would not.

Still surprised they aren't raising the exemption amount for someone staying in a house for a longer period, say 10 years or more. Gotta save those tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy

I’m fine with companies getting a tax cut. That’ll bring jobs back to the United States. Capitalism works when it is tried and not punished.
