I have not. Have never had a capital gains tax come into play in any of my sales in over two decades. And I wouldn't want to opine on any of the options you mentioned... not something that I should advise on in my capacity as a real estate broker.... this is a tax accounting issue.

A sale of that nature has not been something which I have encountered. I understand the gross concept. I would seek professional help with the details.

No, not in 20 years. And given I've had no experience in this; it's not a question I or any REALTOR who hasn't should answer. It's advice that exceeds our license, unless you're telling astory about how a client of yours did it.
