If you sell your home and buy another, you may or may not have to pay capital gains tax based on what how much equity you have, what law is in your state about capital gains tax, and also your economic situation of how you spend your funds.
In UK tax law a capital gain is when you sell shares, land, property etc, at a higher amount for which you acquired it. Capital Gains Tax is charged at different (generally lower) rates than Income Tax and is subject to generous allowances, so unless you regularly sell property etc you are unlikely to have to pay CGT but you still have to declare capital gains, even if there is no liability calulated.
Yes this could be possible when the state has a sales tax on the sale of land. On your federal income tax return 1040 schedule D or 4797 yes you would report the sale of the land and if you have a capital gain could have to pay some income tax on the amount of the capital gain.

Sure. If you sell them for more than you paid for them then you will incur a capital gain and therefore will incur capital gains taxes.
Not from current Income. But it can setoff the Capital Gains and hence Capital gains tax.

I don't believe you do. You will pay income taxes when you sell the house--this is called capital gains.
If you had the home as your primary residence within the past 2 years, you will not have the pay the taxes. This is as long as you did not gain more than $250,000 from the sale.Ê

There's no such thing. Any time you sell property you are charged capital gains tax taken out at settlement. You can't avoid that tax. Any time you buy property, unless it's for business purposes, you still pay taxes on it and your regular salary. If it is a business property, you're still paying taxes on income, you can just write off a lot of other things to compensate.
Capital gains are taxes that you pay on profit as a result of selling an asset. Usually you reconcile these when you do your IRS tax returns. You get a credit for the cost of the house (and improvements), land, stocks or similar item (the "cost basis") and so just pay income tax on the remaining amount (the profit). Certain taxes on capital gains are also capped at a lower rate than the highest rate of tax on personal income. For example, if you owned the property for more than one year, you would calculate the tax based upon the "long-term" capital gains rates. Check out irs.gov for more information.

No. And if neither house is your main home (primary residence) you will have to report the sale of both houses on your income tax return and be subject to income taxes on the sale of the capital gains on both houses.
