Assisted Living Plan Shows How Home Sale Gain Can Go Tax-Free

Original: She Moves Into Assisted Living in 2027 and Rents Out the House. She Collects Rent Until 2030, Then Sells, and the First $250,000 of Gain Is Tax-Free

A personal finance scenario making the rounds describes a woman who moves into assisted living in 2027, rents out her house for three years, sells it in 2030, and keeps the first $250,000 of the gain tax-free under the US capital gains exclusion for primary residences. Commentators are debating whether the residence and use tests really allow this, and how the rental period affects eligibility.

Why now: The plan raises questions about how the IRS capital gains exclusion applies when a home is converted to a rental before sale.
