The Background - An Exclusion From Capital Gains
Internal Revenue Code Section 121 provides (in certain circumstances) a $250,000 exclusion from taxation on the capital gain on the sale of a principal residence.
Covered Expatriates, The Exit Tax and "Deemed Capital Gains"
When a covered expatriate renounces US citizenship he/she is subject to a capital gains tax based on the deemed sale of all property. Specifically 877A includes:
26 U.S. Code § 877A - Tax responsibilities of expatriationAll property of a covered expatriate shall be treated as sold on the day before the expatriation date for its fair market value.
The Issue:
Do the words "notwithstanding any other provision of this title" mean that the S. 121 exclusion is not available to "covered expatriates" renouncing US citizenship?
