PukwudjiVC asked:


Can I defer capitol gains when I sell my stock options by investing the proceeds in a primary residence? I know some taxes on investments can be defferred if rolling into a house (like an IRA). I’m just wondering if selling Incentive Stock Options can also be rolled into a primary residence to defer the taxes.
Alternately, what about rolling the capitol gains into an IRA?

      no because it’s not considered a retirement account.

      those stocks are considered part of your liquid assets.

      if you had gold..and sold it….would you get tax benefits?

      i think not!
