The idea is the avoid paying taxes on your CAPITAL GAINS...why should you have to reinvest your original capital to avoid paying taxes only on gains? You should be able to only reinvest the actual gains

Bc that’s the rules you agreed to. If you don’t like it, don’t participate in the program and pay capital gains.

Not according to the rules of the program.

Capital gains are the lowest and most preferential in history. Again, stop being a whiny entitled bitch and do your 1031 exchange.

You sound like a petulant child.

Because those are the frickin rules dude. You want to be granted a generous shield from taxation you will have to play the game and follow the rules.

Take it up with your Congressman.

You are getting to shield yourself from the lowest capital gains rates in history through a very generous code section and are still crying.

Noone here cares or feels bad for you. This thread is pathetic.

If the description in OP is accurate, then it is a messed up law. If I have 500k sitting in a savings account, mine free and clear, and I buy a property with it, then sell the property for 600k, why is the 500k suddenly subject to taxation? It’s my money.

without the original capital there is no gain?

You should have been making money on it for years anyway. Why complain when they don’t want you to double dip. Invest in a newer property that will increase your income. Or next time find a way to show a loss.
