Do I have to pay capital gains tax on the sale of a joint house?

My mom sold her primary home (in NV) this year. I jointly owned this house with her (from original deed, over 20 years ago), but it was her primary and not mine (I live in a different state). The capital gains was <$250k.

She obviously doesn't have to pay CG since it's her primary home. But do I?

Hey UnusualTaxQs,

Typically if you don't live in the home, it is considered an investment property. You would need to report your portion of the gain as a capital gain. Depending on the percentage of the home you purchased, then you would usually claim that percentage of the cost basis and proceeds on the home.
