Not the entire proceeds, just the capital gain.
Yes, the sale proceeds of a home can be considered taxable income, but it depends on certain factors. If you sell your primary residence, you may qualify for a capital gains exclusion, allowing you to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) of gain from the sale if you meet specific ownership and use tests. However, any profit exceeding these limits may be subject to capital gains tax. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for guidance based on your individual situation.
Probably not...but there are many circumstances that you would. The main thing is, was it accounted for as your home (did you take homeowners deductions) or as something else (say as an investment). As a home, there are many ways the gain on sale isn't taxable at all...although it may even depend on what you did with the money from the sale (buying another home with it within a few years for example).
Your net proceeds, the net cash you received after all closing costs have been paid .. in other words, your total profit from the sale is taxable income unless you re-invest it within certain time limits in another real estate venture.
I can't think of any. Understanding that it is the sale of a primary residence that gets a tax break...not the making of income to purchase one. Except for the special conditions under Sect 1031, what one does with the money after a recognition event normally can't effect the taxability of the event preceding it.
In Arizona, restocking fees are generally considered a charge for a service related to the sale of goods rather than a separate taxable item. As such, if the original sale was taxable, the restocking fee is typically also subject to sales tax. However, businesses should consult with a tax professional or the Arizona Department of Revenue for specific circumstances and compliance.

Only if you made a profit; i.e., you received more than you paid for it. Then you would pay tax on the gain.
no
Yes, you generally have to pay capital gains tax on the sale of a second home, even if you use the proceeds to buy another property. Unlike primary residences, which may qualify for an exclusion on capital gains, second homes do not have the same tax benefits. However, you might be able to defer capital gains taxes through a 1031 exchange if you meet specific requirements, allowing you to reinvest the proceeds into a similar property. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for personalized guidance.
The second mortgagee can indeed go after you for payment.
The mortgage must be paid off at the closing from the proceeds of the sale.
If as seems likely, your Mom was the owner of the house (i.e., her name was on the title/deed), the proceeds of the sale of that house will have to be used for her nursing home care or other medical care.
The proceeds from the sale of an inherited house can be subject to capital gains tax, but the tax is typically calculated based on the difference between the sale price and the property's fair market value at the time of the original owner's death, known as the "step-up in basis." This means that if the house appreciates in value after the original owner's death, only the gain above the stepped-up basis is taxable. Additionally, depending on the amount of the gain, there may be exemptions or deductions available. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for specific guidance based on individual circumstances.
You do not have the option of not paying off the home equity mortgage when you sell your home. The buyer's attorney has the legal obligation of clearing any liens on the property prior to the buyer taking title. Any unpaid mortgages will be paid from the proceeds of the sale before the net proceeds are paid over to you. If you owe more than the selling price that will impact the sale and must be resolved before the sale can take place.
"The proceeds from the bake sale helped to buy new uniforms for the team."
No, you do not have to pay off your mortgage before selling your home. When you sell your home, the proceeds from the sale can be used to pay off the remaining balance of your mortgage.
If you have a first mortgage and a home equity mortgage, the home equity mortgage is a second mortgage. If the home equity mortgage is not paid, the lender can foreclose and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. The home equity lender can pay off the first mortgage and keep any excess proceeds from a sale.
