Best Answer

There is a tax on the amount of profit you make on the sale of a home - sale price less the original purchase price. However there are some exemption rules if the home is your primary residence. Definitely consult with a tax professional to make sure you are taking advantage of all of the exemptions.

It is a fairly broad rule, with fairly easy to meet qualifications (lived in for the last several years, etc) that make the sale exempt.
