AnnieR Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 A friend (and client) of mine inherited the home of her companion when he passed away this year. She has lived in the home with him for the past 6 years, actually from the day he bought it. He purchased the home in his name only, she is the only beneficiary of the estate. She cannot afford the upkeep of the home, insurance, taxes, etc., so is planning on selling it. The property will be transferred into her name on August 12. When/if (in the market in this area, I doubt if she'll be able to sell it at appraisal price), can she use any of the S121 exemption, and if so, going back to what date? Thank you, AnnieR Quote
kcjenkins Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 No, Annie, that should not even come into it, since she inherited it, her basis is the FMV. So she should have no gain to need to exclude. Quote
