Quick Claim Taxes
There is a possibility to quick claim my portion of a rental property to my partner. She would maintain ownership with a new partner. What taxes would I need to pay?

Is she buying you out?

Yes, she is buying me out--and I will be getting some profit from the deal.
I would imagine you would have to claim that as capital gains, then just quit claim your name off the deed. Are you on the loan? As I am not a CPA, I would reccomend consulting one.

Yes, I am on the loan. Thanks for your advice.
A quit claim deed will remove your name from the title, but it does not take your name off the mortgage note. You would still be liable for the loan if your partner defaults.
Better to have the new partners refinance to get your name off the current mortgage note.
You would qualify for long-term capital gain tax rates, so your maximum Federal capital gain tax rate would be 15% and what ever your state income tax rate would be.

Normally, there are two components with capital gains tax. Under current law the depreciation component is taxed (Federal) at 25% and the gain due to appreciation will be taxed at 15%. I am not sure if converting the rental to primary residence alters this.
Thanks for the info, I just need to clarify that...thanks
