Do you pay capital gains tax if you roll the profit into a new home?
The law changed in 1997. Before that, you had to buy a new home to avoid capital gains tax. The law no longer cares what you do with the money from the sale of the old home. If the house was your main home for two of the previous five years and you owned the home for two of the previous five years, the first $250,000 in capital gains is exempt from tax. The exemption increases to $500,000 if you file jointly and it was also the main home of your spouse for two of the previous five years.

If the house was your main home for any two of the five years before you sold it and you owned the house for any two of the five years before you sold it, the first $250,000 of capital gains is excluded from income. If you file a joint return and the house was also your spouse's main home for two of the five previous years, the exclusion goes up to $500,000. You can use the exclusion once every two years. Any capital gains above the exclusion amount are taxable.
What is the capitol gains tax rate for a company?
Business property that is held for one year or less is considered to be held on a short-term basis. If you sell, scrap, retire, or otherwise dispose of a short-term capital asset, any related gains will be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. However, if the property was held for more than one year, gains on it will generally be treated as long-term capital gains. While property used in a trade or business is technically not a "capital asset," in the IRS's view, the tax laws do apply the more favorable capital gains tax rates to this property. In 2003, Congress lowered the maximum dividend and capital gains tax rates for most (but not all) dividends and capital gains from 20 to 15 percent for qualifying taxpayers. Taxpayers in the 10- and 15-percent tax brackets are eligible for an even lower rate of five percent. In 2008, the rate for taxpayers in the 10- and 15-percent tax brackets fell to zero. As originally enacted, these tax rate cuts were temporary and were scheduled to expire at the end of 2008. However, Congress extended the cuts for two more years through December 31, 2010
