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.

What is the term of a house not adjourning another house?

You sold a house your residence and you are wanting to wait a year or so before you buy again Will you have to pay capital gains tax?
It makes absolutely no difference if you wait a year or if you never buy another house again in your whole life. If the house was your principle residence for two of the five years immediately before you sold it and you owned the house for two of the five years before you sold it, the first $250,000 of capital gains is excluded from income (you pay no tax on it). If yo file a joint return and your spouse also lived in the house for two of the preceding five years, then the first $500,000 of capital gains is excluded. A reduced exclusion may be available if you had to move early because of reasons beyond your control. You pay tax on any capital gains above that. You may use the exclusion only once every two years. You may not claim a capital loss on a house you used for personal purposes (you lived in it rather than renting it out or using it for a business or investment).
Can you avoid capital gains taxes if you sell a rental house and invest the proceeds in another rental?
