About this episode

The episode discusses potential adjustments to capital gains taxes for inflation and the implications for homeowners and real estate investors.

Could capital gains taxes eventually be adjusted for inflation, and could the home sale exclusion increase from $500,000 to $1 million for married couples filing jointly? In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Nate Sosa and Justin Shore break down the discussion around capital gains indexing, how an inflation adjustment to tax basis could work, and why changes to the Section 121 home sale exclusion could have a significant impact on homeowners and real estate investors. Plus, Nate and Justin examine another major shift happening inside the accounting industry: private equity-backed consolidation, accounting firm roll-ups, and what those changes could mean for employees and clients.
