Best Answer

In most cases you will have to pay CG tax. Since you owned the house for less than two years, it won't qualify for the full primary residence exception. But if you lived there in addition to owning it and then moved for a reason beyond your contol, you may be eligible for a reduced exclusion. See "Reduced Maximum Exclusion" on page 14 of Publication 523. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf By the way, in order to accurately calculate your tax and avoid overpaying taxes, you'll need to know your mother's basis (how much she paid for the house and adjustments to basis while she owned it) and the Fair Market Value of the house on the gift date. Your mother should have filed a gift tax return with the FMV on it. If she didn't give you her purchase and other ownership records (including depreciation claimed on tax returns if this was a rental or she took the home office deduction), you'll need to get those from her before they are lost.

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.
