Excess of AGI over $250,000:

$35,000 ($285,000 – $250,000)

Capital gain:

$60,000

Lesser amount:

$35,000 (AGI excess less than second-home capital gain)

Rob Keasal, real estate tax specialist in the Seattle accounting firm of Peterson Sullivan, said he anticipates the new tax will send more high-wealth individuals to consider tax-deferred exchanges when selling their investment properties.
