FAQ
In most states, the law states that when you sell your house, you must leave it in the same condition as when you bought it. This means that if you painted the walls green and sold the home, the new owner would be required to repaint them white. However, there are a few states that have different laws.
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.
Under Article XIII, Section I of the California Constitution, all property is taxable unless it is exempt. Each year Personal Property is reassessed as of lien date, January 1st. Personal Property is all property except real estate and can include business equipment, vessels, aircraft, vehicles and manufactured homes.
Personal property taxes are deductible when they are based on the value of personal property, such as a boat or car. To be deductible, the tax must be charged to you on a yearly basis, even if it is collected more than once a year or less than once a year.
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.
Homes can be sold via private treaty, auction or expression of interest, and the method that's best for you will depend several factors. The type of property, your target buyer and your personal circumstances will all affect which method is best. Your local market will be one of the biggest factors.
You do not have to report the sale of your home if all of the following apply: Your gain from the sale was less than $250,000. You have not used the exclusion in the last 2 years. You owned and occupied the home for at least 2 years.
You must report all business assets, including all fully depreciated assets and/or expensed assets. Do not report licensed vehicles, computer application software, and goods held for sale, rent, or lease (i.e., inventory).
