Trump Weighs Major Tax Change: Eliminating Capital Gains on Home Sales
President Trump is contemplating a significant change to the US tax system. He is considering eliminating the capital gains tax on home sales, a move that could provide substantial financial relief to sellers. This proposal follows a bill introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calling for the same change.
The current tax laws allow single filers to exclude up to $250,000 in capital gains from the sale of their homes, while joint filers can exclude up to $500,000. Trump's consideration comes in response to a query from Real America Voice reporter Brian Glenn, who is in a relationship with Rep. Greene. Rep. Greene argues that this tax is outdated and unfair, especially in today's housing market. The proposal would require congressional approval and, if passed, would provide a potentially massive financial break for sellers. Trump has previously criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates, which he believes is hindering the stock market today.
The elimination of the capital gains tax on home sales, if approved, would mark a substantial shift in US tax policy. It remains to be seen how this proposal will fare in Congress and what impact it might have on the housing market.
