Answer:
D) $40,000
Explanation:
The Joneses qualify for a Section 121 exemption since they lived at their house for 20 years. They are exempted from paying capital gains taxes on the first $500,000 ($250,000 if single) in realized gains from selling their home.
Joneses taxable gain = $750,000 (sales price) - $210,000 (basis) - $500,000 (section 121) = $40,000
They will have to recognize only $40,000 in gains.
