There are many taxes one would have to pay on the sale of a home.
Your marital status makes no difference.
Some of the taxes may be based on the value of the home, while others are based on the amount of gain (meaning the amount above what you paid, plus certain improvements, etc). And most importantly, there are a number of generally applicable exemptions for the major Federal Taxes, if certain qualifications are met. (Like how many years you lived there before selling, etc.). While there are many considerations, the common ones are well known and certainly the lawyer you use to sell should be able to guide you for your circumstance.
It is normally a good time to consider and plan for things like Medicare limits (to assure you don't have to spend the house money before benefits kick in) and other plans.

If a retailer pays PA sales tax but has a delivery to New York what tax does he pay?
Pays no tax for the NY delivery if purchased onlineActually the method used for placing the sale makes no difference. Where the sale occurs determines where it is taxed and where it is used determines when it isn't taxed on sale. (All States have a required USE tax component to their tax laws).If the retailer is lisc. to collect tax in the jurisdiction that the item is delivered to, then he must collect tax for that jurisdiction. Regardless of how the sale is made. (The "moritorium" on internet taxes I suspect the previous is confused by, is only for State s making NEW taxes on internet services...sales taxes on other products aren't new, the system for it well established with things like mail order and then phonesIf the retailer isn't licensed (normally because they don't have the legal "nexus" - that is connection) - with that jurisdiction, then THEY CAN NOT collect the tax for it. If the sale was sent to NY by a common carrier and title only changed when it was delivered, than no tax (or the NY tax) is charged. No PA sale occured, so no PA tax is to be charged, regardless. If it was shipped on a company truck or after title passed, than PA tax must be charged (because the sale happend in PA, just like if you were in the store and bought it and put it in your own car and drove to NY. The buyer can get a tax credit for that tax on the NY USE TAX they must file and pay.

Will the government tax home sales at 3.8 percent?
Not exactly. The 3.8% Medicare tax will apply to certain investment income, including the gain on the sale of a home (not the entire sale value). The tax applies to individuals whose income reaches certain thresholds, and starts in 2013. So to be clear, suppose that you purchased your home originally for 100,000 dollars then sold it for 150,000. The gain is the difference between sale price and original price [$50,000 in this case]. If you are subject to the tax, then the tax would be calculated on the $50,000 gain, rather than the $150,000 sale price. No federal sales taxes (tax on the entire sale amount) exist in the United States at this time.
