Apr. 29--QUESTION: My partner and I bought a fixer-upper home as an investment. What will our tax obligation be upon sale?
What expenses can be deducted to reduce the taxable amount? We paid off a tax lien at the sale, and have spent money on materials and labor for the renovation.
--R.B., Hewitt
ANSWER: Assuming this fixer-upper is purely an investment and not your primary residence, you will be taxed on the sale of the house as a capital gain.
If you hold the house for more than one year, the sale will qualify for long-term capital-gain treatment. If you own the house for less than one year, the sale will be considered short-term.
