He inherited the first 5 min...

[@kookidvatohuh4061]

Who cares about capital gains tax when you can convert property to rental , cash flow would eventually out weigh any short term losses . Selling inheritance is a good way to blow inheritance if you ask me , but to each his own .

[@Dad-979]

I agree, but sometimes you have no choice.

[@divinee.155]

Yep i bought 4 houses cash for my kids future - i dont have kids yet. If the fools sell everything and go pay a mortgage then i did poorly as a parent

[@edennis8578]

We inherited a farm, four siblings all living in different parts of the country. We sold because it just wasn't feasible to manage a farm by committee, especially when our sister turned out to be dishonest.

[@VincenzoGCosta]

Multiple inheritors

Thank you for sharing your knowledge in an easy to- understand manor 👏😊

[@missedfortune]

Glad it was helpful!

[@smaximus4071]

Thanks for the show, Doug. I have a question about capital gain tax from the last house that I sold. I moved to Texas from Seattle and purchased with cash on the new home. Which price of the house was less than half that I sold in Seattle. Is there a way to not pay big capital gain tax? Huge Thanks in advance for your response.

[@eddieschwab864]

I'm wondering if a person initially puts the asset in a separate legal entity and it appreciates over time, if you are liable for capital gains tax if the gain is not realized and put in your hands when you sell it, such as if you reinvest it into something else similar to a 1031 exchange, but only conceivably would you pay tax if you take the money home, that is, cash out any of the gains..

[@youmayberight2434]

Thank you Sir.

[@rvbzero7]

6:40 Good info, but what if there is still money owed on the house loan, and even further more, right after a 100% cash out refi

[@anglemyer31]

Question - my grandparents have a good investment property (land only) that will continue to appreciate. In this case, why sell immediately once inherited? For example, say my grandpa bought the land at $4,000/acre and it’s now valued at $15,000/acre. After passing, the basis will be $15,000, so now we won’t have to pay capital gains on the $11,000 difference; however, if we wait 5 years and it appreciates to $20,000/acre, we should only have to pay $5,000/acre in capital gains, correct? We still don’t necessarily pay capital gains on the original up-tick in basis from $4,000-15,000, right? Thanks!!!

[@Light_Worker]

I want to know why I can’t defect expensive tax service from CPA who is only the one can do correct documents preparation for the unique case ? Pay Accounter to pay tax to IRS ? Why IRS doesn’t provide that information ?

[@clubman8130]

I inherited a property and I'm selling it in less than a year's time do I have to pay short-term capital gains tax for this property? If so what is the percentage that I need to put aside?

[@gabequezada2066]

Hello Doug. This is the first time ive seen this video which is excellent by the way. Does this video still apply considering that almost 2 years have passed. Thank you and I await your response.

What is the capital gain taxes on inheritance property with reverse mortgage ?

[@HeadieHooperz]

Will the IRS accept a BPO (Broker Price Opinion) from an Agent/Broker for the Fair Market Value of an Inherited House or do you 100% ALWAYS needs an Appraiser?

Hello, My friends dad passed and inherited a home which was is in a Trust. If escrow isn't opened/ closed by Feb 16, 2021 will this new law apply? What can I do to help navigate this new prop 19 law? We are currently doing repairs before listing and realized the new prop 19 might have an effect on taxes. Any feed back is welcome. Thank you

What inheritance tax from another country while living in the us?

[@raymondward8932]

That's the reason I get paid cash for,all, no check, just cash, hide everything ,write,ya a reciete for 1 dollar, so ya don't have to pay rediculus tax fees,same as a car

[@TheK9Shepherd]

No need to sell an inherited PRIMARY property ASAP. Not needed. Even if you sit on it for many years, and sell for let's say $500,000 profit (Step up in basis - Sale price of house) You aren't going to pay the entire 500K in capital gains. But for fun, even if you pay 50% of that, you still walk away with $250k more then you would have made if you sold it asap. So yes, you'll pay capital gain on the profit, but you still come out ahead. (again, not talking about rental properties or business properties that used depreciation)

[@sarakoshen108]

Question- I am on the deed to my fathers house. The house is a life estate. My niece and her husband want to buy the house. The house hasn’t been my primary residence but while I was taking care of my dad I did stay with him more than my apartment. About 3 years. When we sell, would I have to pay? I would be selling under fair market value.

[@missedfortune]

Great question. You may want to schedule some time with an IUL specialist who can answer more of your questions and even run some examples for you if it is appropriate: 3dimensionalwealth.com/getstarted/

[@divinee.155]

Yes because it isn't your primary residence u say u stayed there no one cares ur address isnt their so if i were u i would move into the house for a while change ur address to that house then sell it as ur primary house

[@cristinacarrion4723]

What if your parent sells the property and distributed the profit of the sale to his children while the parent is still alive?

[@gegaoli]

Will this impact 2021 capital taxes if i sell inherited property now (Jan-Feb 2021)?

[@missedfortune]

If you sell in Jan/Feb of 2021, then you will report any gains for this current tax year, 2021.

My grandmother died in 1988 without a will, my grandfather and father died also died without a will. There was a 30 acre wooded property that had 6 relatives to divide it between; some had deeds others had to get affidavits of heriship. The 6 agreed to sell the property in 2020 and I got my affidavit of heriship at that time. My question is: Is my base 1988 or 2020?

[@divinee.155]

Your questions isnt clear...did the land appreciate?

2020 since you inherited your portion at that time.

very well done. I inherited well over a million dollars of land. here's what I did. I left the land to the grandchildren. it's in a protected trust. this is what all the old farmers used to do. skip a generation... also. instead of selling my land. I borrowed a million dollars used it for collateral anyone that sues me or take the land won't be able to get past the bank I bought a million dollars worth of physical silver which I use to pay the loan payments with....

What if there is a mortgage on the property? You haven't paid purchase price, and you don't receive sales price.

[@missedfortune]

You need to know what your tax basis is. You will use your tax basis to determine what taxes you owe when you sell, even if you have a mortgage.

[@ladypilliwick8179]

it's in the court house records. all deed actions are recorded

On an inherited home, if the basis at time of death is X and the home sold for X with a $10,000 commission and $1000 closeing cost is there a $11,000 capital loss?

[@divinee.155]

U would pay tax on the 10,000 if you made the commission if u meant commission to agent and 1000 closing cost then that's a lost so no tax however if u sell for the price it was initially bought for just a a way to avoid tax it wont work they will assess the real value and tax u for it

[@robertbarry1792]

@@divinee.155 to clarify:I sold my inherited home at the same price it was vauled but paid 10,000 commission and 1,000 closing cost. Therefore it's a 11,000 short term capital loss. Right?

[@andrewholland7589]

Can u do a video on upstream gifting to to get the step up

[@en3rgy187]

What does "Step up in basis" mean in simple English?

[@missedfortune]

If you purchase a stock for $15. Over time, the stock goes up in value and is now worth $30. Your tax basis is $15 if you sell the stock. If you pass away and your beneficiary inherits the stock, they get a "step up in basis" to $30. They would only pay tax if the stock now goes up above $30.

[@NA-hi7lx]

I don't understand your advice. If you got a step-up in basis from the Old Law, (due to inheritance) it's not going to affect you when the new law is passed. Your new stepped up basis has already been locked in. Selling now or selling later wont make a difference. What am I missing here? Btw, a charity does not get a step up in basis. They simply are exempt from paying taxes.

[@missedfortune]

If you have already inherited a parents asset (real estate), then yes you get a step up in basis. But if your parents are still living and they change the law and then later pass away, you would not get a step up in basis. Does that help clarify?

[@archercano]

I would be interested in hiring your services. We need to be introduced (real word fashion ). My assets are worthy of protecting, and a knowledgeable tax man is in itself an asset. How shall we proceed?

Its great to get yourself some protection. It would be best if you can setup a time to speak to one of the IUL Specialists we work with by selecting a time here: www.3dimensionalwealth.com/getstarted

[@robertespinoza6911]

What if I received a property as a gift @ 0 Zero dollars from my Aunt in (2014), which was given to her by my mother @ Zero dollars (both still alive). The property was not appraised when the transfer happened. Will I still qualify for the 250k exemption. I believe the property was bought for 40k in 2012 by my mother, it is now up for sale @ 289K. Will I qualify for the 250k and pay the difference of 39K? I've been living there for 3 + years. I hope this makes sense, I'm trying to weigh my options. Thank you, any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

[@Corkfish1]

If thats your primary residence and you've lived there for the past five years your $250k exemption should still be good. No gift tax return was filed when you were gifted the property?

[@missedfortune]

This is a tricky situation and one that I would suggest you talk to a professional about. How was the property transferred? Was there a gift filing showing the transfer of property for $0. Is the title now in your name? You should qualify for the exemption, but this is not a straight forward scenario. I would talk to a CPA.

[@divinee.155]

Its ur primary home u should be exempt from tax i live in another country but that's the general rule
