Last week I wrote about the capital gains exemption of $250,000 for single taxpayers and $500,000 for married taxpayers. I failed to mention (because I didn’t know) that a widow or widower has 2 years after the death of their spouse to sell their primary residence and still take advantage of the higher exemption amount. I thank the readers who brought that to my attention.
