If we bought a rental property for $420k and sell it for $520k, what is the amount that would be taxable for capital gains? We would like to income split and are retired
Our individual retirement income is also equal. One is not higher than the other.

If the profit is $100,000 you would each pay tax on $50,000 assuming there are no other adjustments, in which case, it would be somewhat less.

Thank you. So effectively, we are paying tax on 50% of the profit, not 100% of the profit?

To clarify, you would each report capital gains of $50,000. The actual taxable amount would be $25,000 each added to your taxable income on each of your returns.
