Quit Claim Deed Profits

Summary

In a Quit Claim Deed, the grantor transfers interest without warranties, and profit distribution depends on ownership and agreements. For capital gains tax, the $250,000 exclusion applies if the property was a primary residence for at least two of the last five years. Both grantor and remainderman must meet this criterion. The basis for long-term capital gains tax is the original purchase price plus improvements, minus depreciation. Profit distribution and tax responsibilities depend on ownership interests.
