Won’t he have to recognize the gain from the home sale as taxable income?

He won’t get the benefit of a like-kind exchange if he uses it for anything other than a home purchase.

However, if you have high interest rates on any debt, this could make sense for you.

No tax if the proceeds are less than 250k single and 500k married.

He didn’t make a large enough profit for it to be taxable assuming it was his primary residence for I think 2 years

Tax free as long as he's lived in the house as his primary residence for at least 2 of the previous 5 years.


OP - payoff all your credit card debt starting with cards that have highest interest rates
