Roth IRA 60 day rollover

Asked onThursday, May 04, 2023 by Douglas

I’m 60 years old and have had a Roth IRA for over 5 years and not contributed to it in over 5 year. I took $100,000 out of it February 13th as a normal distribution, then I took out $100,000 on March 10th, $50,000 April 15th and $46,000 May 1st. If I put money back in by May 8th and call it a 60 day rollover can I put the $196,000 back I. Or just $100,000?

Capital Gains for home sale with partial exclusion (spouse death) & stepped up basis

Asked onThursday, May 04, 2023 by Vicki

Wish to sale my home (lived in less than 1 year) due to death of spouse(March 2023). Can I take capital gains partial exclusion for both myself and deceased spouse? Significant renovations completed by us in 2022 - can I use the stepped up basis (my half) AND take the partial exclusion when calculating capital gains? What is the requirement for official stepped up basis value of home on the day my spouse died? We have no receipts for renovation materials and labor (deceased spouse did work). What is the best way to provide cost of improvements? And if I include cost of improvement in capital gains calculation, can I include full improvement costs if using the stepped up basis? Retired - no income other than social security. But expect significant increase in home value after the renovations and boom in housing market in my neighborhood.
