FAQ
FACT: Paying current or back taxes does not increase your legal ownership of any real property, including heirs property. MYTH: Buying heirs property at a tax sale clears the title. FACT: When property is bought at a tax sale, the buyer obtains the title in whatever condition the title was in at the time of the sale.
Georgia exempts a property owner from paying property tax on: Items of personal property used in the home if not held for sale, rental, or other commercial use. All tools and implements of trade of manual laborers in an amount not to exceed $2,500 in actual value.
Personal Property is generally defined as all goods or property other than real estate that the business owner can physically possess, has intrinsic value and that can be physically relocated. For example, furniture, equipment, and/or inventory that is used to conduct business.
All property in Georgia is taxed at an assessment rate of 40% of its full market value. Exemptions, such as a homestead exemption, reduce the taxable value of your property. Let's say this homeowner has a standard homestead exemption of $2,000. The taxable value is then multiplied by the millage rate.
Generally, all gains are taxable. Going back to the previous example, you purchased a car for $25,000. Then you sell the car later for $30,000. The result is a $5,000 taxable gain.
If you sold a personal use asset for more than what you bought it for, then you would generally report that on the Stock or Investment Sale Information screen. You can report any selling expenses by reducing the amount you enter as "Sale Proceeds" by the amount of your selling expenses.
Additionally, you must report the sale of the home if you can't exclude all of your capital gain from income. Use Schedule D (Form 1040), Capital Gains and Losses and Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets when required to report the home sale.
You can't deduct capital losses on the sale of personal use property. A personal use asset that is sold at a loss generally isn't reported on your tax return unless it was reported to you on a 1099-K and you can't get a corrected version from the issuer of the form.
