Middle Class Home Tax Elimination Act
This bill removes the current $250,000 (single filers) and $500,000 (married couples) limit on tax-free profit when selling a primary residence. It directly affects homeowners who sell their homes by eliminating these dollar caps under Internal Revenue Code Section 121. The key provision amends the tax code to allow full exclusion of capital gains from principal residence sales without the previous monetary limits. The change would apply to home sales occurring after the bill's enactment date.
