I just found this tax info out which only hurts unmarried individuals and benefits married. I wanted to sell my home due to equity in it at todays listing prices and apparently if a single individual, any home that sells more than 200k over your original purchase price you have to pay a huge capital gains tax… now,if your married they give you a 400k differential and anything over that you pay capital gains. Ex. Unclear of why this tax law hasn’t been updated? Wow! It’s an extremely biased

It's not new, and it's $250k for singles vs $500k for married - the idea is to account for 2 people vs 1 person. This is not the only part of the tax code that treats single people very differently, and it's been like this for decades.

It’s one property. What if it was a plural marriage do they get an extra 200k … it’s a law that’s completely not acceptable.. it’s punishing singles … it really is. Are people even discussing this?

Wtf is a “plural marriage” you cannot be legally married to more than one person at a time in the US.
