What this bill would do

This bill proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to eliminate the current dollar limitations regarding the exclusion of gain from the sale of principal residences. It involves striking specific paragraphs within Section 121(b) and redesignating others. Additionally, it includes conforming amendments to Section 121(c). These changes would apply to all sales and exchanges occurring after the Act is enacted.
