Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Section 2(a) increases the tax exclusion for money made from selling a principal residence. For single filers, the amount goes from $250,000 to $500,000, and for married individuals filing jointly, it goes from $500,000 to $1,000,000. This is positive because it lets everyday people keep more of their hard-earned money when they sell their homes without having to pay taxes on that profit.
-
Section 2(a) adds a new paragraph (5) that provides an adjustment for inflation for these exclusion amounts for taxable years beginning after 2025. This is positive because it protects homeowners from inflation, ensuring that the tax break does not lose its value over time as the cost of living goes up.
