"Gift" Tax question
Hey fellas,
I was wondering about some tax consequences if I were to receive money from my immediate family. Say that my brother sold his house for $200K that he lived in for more than two years and is willing to give me $200K to buy my own house- would that be taxable income on my part?
I know that my "brother" can exclude the gain since he lived in the house as a primary resident for more than the required two year amount, but what about if the money were to transfer to me?
I tried googling, but couldn't find the answer.
Any CPAs out here?
TIA.

and you are correct, your brother can exclude any gain up to $250k or $500k if married and filing a joint return on the sale of his home assuming it was his primary residence for 2 of the last 5 years and he has not excluded another gain in the past 2 years.
