Full value of new home may be considered reinvested even if financed via mortgage loan

A taxpayer inquired which amounts qualify as reinvested for the primary residence exemption if part of the sale proceeds are used to settle an existing mortgage, while the remainder is used to purchase and renovate a new home with the help of a loan. The DGT ruled that the amount is calculated by subtracting the outstanding principal of the previous mortgage, and that the new home counts as a full reinvestment regardless of whether own funds or a loan are used.
