Is this true? An...<i>"Bernie,<br />Permission to Post:<br />Is this true? Anyone know.<br />Health Care Bill also contains a federal tax of 3.8% on the sale of your house?"</i><br /><br />Not really. It’s a 3.8% medicare tax for some high-income households that have net investment income. It only applies to households with adjusted gross income (AGI) more than $200k individuals/$250k married. An additional tax obligation might result from a homesale. Even if the AGI limits are met, the new tax would not be applied to capital gains that result from the sale of a home, since the existing home sale capital gains exclusion rule still applies – $250,000 individual/$500,000 married. So if the gain from the sale of the property is below that amount, then NO Medicare tax will have to be paid on the gain. The new Medicare tax would apply only to a home sale gain realized in excess of the $250K/$500K that pushes the filer’s AGI over the $200K/$250K income limits. I read about this at Realtor.org.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-3141873677940784312010-07-21T14:14:06.167-04:002010-07-21T14:14:06.167-04:00"How about the allegations of preferential bi..."How about the allegations of preferential bid status for certain state projects being granted to large political contributors to the other camp?
