How can I avoid taxes after selling my home

Q: How soon can I sell a home in Missouri after purchase without getting tagged with a whole lot of fees with taxes?

A: If it is your primary residence, you should stay there for at least 2 of the past 5 years to avoid capital gains (with some exceptions). If it is an investment property, you will have some taxes due. There are also some tax shelter / relief  methods you could look into. Consult with a tax attorney or your CPA
