An 88 year old widower is selling his house on Long Island. He is a WW2 vet. Will he have to pay capital gains tax if he buys another property soon after selling in Florida?
Thank you

He would be able to exclude the first $250,000 of gain from taxation. If a couple owned the home, it would be $500,000.
