What is the Difference between revenue and capital gains?
Revenue is income from labor, services, etc. Usually it is taxed at the highest rate. Capital gains is income from buying a stock or a house at one price and selling it at a profit. Usually it is taxed at a lower rate due to the fact that some of the capital gain is due to the government printing money or expanding the money supply. In other words, you by a house and sell a house for more, but you really just have enough money to buy another house, that is more money but not more purchasing power. Where it gets tricky is in hedge funds where the manager is paid a management fee out of capital gains. It has similarities to revenue, but is taxed at the lower capital gains rate.

Do you pay capital gains tax if you roll the profit into a new home?
The law changed in 1997. Before that, you had to buy a new home to avoid capital gains tax. The law no longer cares what you do with the money from the sale of the old home. If the house was your main home for two of the previous five years and you owned the home for two of the previous five years, the first $250,000 in capital gains is exempt from tax. The exemption increases to $500,000 if you file jointly and it was also the main home of your spouse for two of the previous five years.

Do you have to pay capital gains on the sale of your house if you are selling for the first time and have lived in the house 33 years?
If the house was your main home for any two of the five years before you sold it and you owned the house for any two of the five years before you sold it, the first $250,000 of capital gains is excluded from income. If you file a joint return and the house was also your spouse's main home for two of the five previous years, the exclusion goes up to $500,000. You can use the exclusion once every two years. Any capital gains above the exclusion amount are taxable.
