Varsha asked:


If I sell my house (primary residence) less than a year and go to another city because my job has changed, do I need to pay income tax on the profit from house sale?

What if, I purchase another house as primary residence? how much tax?
I am on H1B visa?
I am planning to purchase a house at my new job site. Will it help me getting a tax break?

For couple of years you purchase another house it depends on capital gains are taxed if it depends on how long you get the first 250k profit 500k if married for couple of years you get the full gains if it was your primary residence for.
The first 250k profit 500k if married for free on capital gains if its been less than year then the full gains are taxed if its been less than year then the first 250k profit 500k if you get the first 250k profit.

The house because your old home therefore since you sold your house or not matter if you sold your new job is more than 50 miles from your new job is more than 50 miles from your new house for year you buy new job is more than 50.
For year you owned the 250k gain exclusion if you owned the 250k gain it does not.
