How long do you have to reinvest before you must pay capital gains?
There was an option to reinvest proceeds from the sale of a home into a new home in order to avoid capital gains taxes. That option was repealed in 1997 and replaced by the current $250,000/$500,000 exclusion. There is no other option to avoid capital gains taxes by reinvesting.
