Joint Income Tax Return For 2014

Married taxpayers may exclude up to $500,000 of gain upon the sale of their residence every two years (Code § 121(b)(1) and (2), (Code §121(b)(3)(B)) (Tax Almanac. 2009, June 18, Internal Revenue Code:Sec. 121. Exclusion of Gain from Sale of Principal Residence). The requirement is that they need to have owned and occupied the residence as their principal residence for two out of the last five years prior to the sale (Code §121(b)(3)(A)) (Tax Almanac, 2009, June 18). Assuming a new mortgage will most likely give them a larger deduction of mortgage interest and if they have lived in their current home for a while that is nondeductible (Code § 163(h)(3)(E)(i) (Tax Almanac. 2009, June 18, . Internal Revenue Code:Sec. 163.

Generally, a realized gain from sale of personal residence can be excluded from gross income under Exclusion 121. The amount realized is the selling price of the property less any disposition costs. The adjusted basis is then determined and the amount is subtracted from the realized sum. This will give you the amount of loss or gain from the sale of the property. Since the couple occupied the sold home for at least 2 of the last 5 years they fulfill the requirements for exclusion 121 treatment. The exclusion amount for the couple if filing jointly is $500.000 and the calculation would be as follows:

If you were to sale your current residence, you could be eligible to exclude up to $500k (married filing jointly) of that gain from your income. Of course, this gain would apply to the tax year in which the property was sold and I believe you are looking for tax benefits

1. [LO 1] Compare and contrast different ways in which a taxpayer triggers a realization event by disposing of an asset.

Rule: Passive activity is any activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate. A net passive activity loss generally may not be deducted against other types of income (e.g., wages, other ordinary or active income, portfolio income (interest and dividends), or capital gains). In other words, passive losses may generally only offset passive income for a tax year-the remaining net loss is generally "suspended" and carried forward to a year when it may be used to offset passive income (or when the final disposition of the property occurs). However, there is an exception (the "mom and pop exception," as we refer to it in the textbooks) to this general rule. Taxpayers who own more than 10% of the rental activity, have modified AGI under $100,000, and have active participation (managing the property qualifies), may deduct up to $25,000 annually of net passive losses attributable to real estate. There is a phase-out provision for modified AGI from $100,000 − $150,000, and the deduction is completely phased-out for modified AGI in excess of $150,000.

Even when everything seems to be in favor for you to consider that your filing status is head of household since you had the custody and you fully support your son. The fact that nonresidents alien for tax purposes don’t qualify as a head of household at any time of the tax year. In your case, the filing status for the 2015 tax return is contemplated as single.

I miss you all very much! Everything here has been different than what I hoped it would be.

I heard you've been sick for two months And you're getting tests (colon)? How is that going? You get any results yet? I hope it's ok. Sending you lots of hugs 珞 thinking about you and Flo and da two baes.
