Will you ever sell your house?

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen?  It's in the health care bill.  Just thought you should know. SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill)   Why 2013?  Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections? [o'bamacare's] REAL ESTATE SALES TAX: So, this is "change you can believe in?" Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax?  The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013.  If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax.  This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes.  Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote more important? Oh, you weren't aware this was in the obamacare bill?  Guess what, you aren't alone.  There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either. article source: http://www.gop.gov/blog/10/04/08/obamacare-flatlines-obamacare-taxes-home ObamaCare Flatlines: ObamaCare Taxes Home Sales - Clobbers Middle-Class Americans Posted at http://www.gop.gov/blog/10/04/08/obamacare-flatlines-obamacare-taxes-home on April 8, 2010      Beginning January 1, 2013, ObamaCare imposes a 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income of "high-income" taxpayers which could apply to proceeds from the sale of single family homes, townhouses, co-ops, condominiums, and even rental income, depending on your individual circumstances and any capital gains tax exclusions.  Importantly, the "high income" thresholds are not indexed for inflation so will reach increasing numbers of middle-class taxpayers over time.      In February 2010, 5.02 million homes were sold, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).  On any given day, the sale of a house, townhome, condominium, co-op, or income from a rental property could slam middle-income families with a new tax they can't afford.      This new ObamaCare tax is the first time the government will apply a 3.8 percent tax on unearned income.  This new tax on home sales and unearned income and other Medicare taxes raise taxes more than $210 billion to pay for ObamaCare.  The National Association of Realtors called this new Medicare tax on unearned income "destructive" and "ill-advised" and warned it would hurt job creation.      For previous ObamaCare Flatlines, visit click here: http://www.gop.gov/obamacare.
