Reporting Gains on Sales

Tose who owe some tax on the sale of a principal residence will report the sale as short-term or long-term gain on Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses. If you owned the home for up to one year, any non-exempt gain would be considered short-term gain taxable at ordinary rates. If you owned the home for more than one year, it would be taxed at the long-term rate.
