Hi Guest,
You need to pay capital gains taxes when you make a profit out of the transaction. The difference between the sales price of the house and the price at which you bought it, is considered your profit. The capital gains taxes are calculated on this amount. However, if you make the transfer as a gift, you will not have to pay any capital gains taxes. You will be required to pay a gift tax, but you can also claim the gift tax exemptions. |
