Momentum builds for bigger capital gains tax break on home sales - Roll Call

Bipartisan support is growing in both the House and Senate to double the capital gains tax exemption for home-sale profits.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who faces a potentially tough reelection battle next year, introduced bipartisan legislation Wednesday that would increase the exemptions, which currently stand at $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for married couples. The caps would increase to $500,000 and $1 million, respectively.

The draft bill is also backed by Sens. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.; Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif.; Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.; John Barrasso, R-Wyo.; and Steve Daines, R-Mont.
