To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to temporarily increase the capital gains exclusion for any qualifying senior who sells a principal residence during a qualifying year, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to temporarily increase the tax-free profit limit when seniors sell their primary homes between 2027 and 2030. Under the new rules, unmarried seniors aged 65 or older could exclude up to $1 million of gains, while married couples filing jointly could exclude up to $2 million if at least one spouse is 65 or older. To qualify for this benefit, the home must have been owned and used as a principal residence for at least 25 years prior to the sale.
