Thoughts on this #TaxReform bill. I am going to try to grab different things than are likely to be picked up by other sources.

So my absolute favorite part of the bill is THE PART WHERE IT *DOESN'T* LIST THE SECTION TITLES AT THE FRONT. It's like a bad law scavenger hunt. Without clues.

Still digging through this beast, this one is a problem. If you sell your house without living in it for 5 years (instead of 2), you lose the tax exclusion. Right now you can sell a house after 2 years and not pay capital gains for a sizeable chunk.

Say you bought a condo 4 years ago and want to get a bigger place for a family? Taxed on those gains unless you wait a year. Need to move for work and no way to maintain a house you bought 3 years ago? Taxes on any gains.

What if you have divorce or death and need to sell before 5 years. This exemption is about mobility and helping Americans climb up into and stay in the middle class.
