Answer:
C) $0 $285,000
Explanation:
The §121 exclusion establishes that homeowners can exclude from their capital gains taxes the sale of their property for a maximum of $250,000 gain (or $500,000 for joint filers) if they meet two criteria:
- they owned the property for at last 5 years
- they use the property as main residence for at least 2 years (they can aggregate time periods).
So if Eric and Katie use the §121 exclusion they wouldn't pay any capital gains tax ($500,000 is higher than $375,000).
If they decide to forgo the §121 exclusion, then they will have to pay taxes for a gain of:
capital gain = net sale price - asst basis
capital gain = ($375,000 - $10,000) - $80,000 = $365,000 - $80,000 = $285,000
