Flag tax risk before a quick sale of a renovated home without pretending to determine business income versus capital gain by itself.

Document triage — not legal/tax advice or a warranty decision. Données vérifiées: 2026-08-23.

VERT / GREEN

Acquisition date, disposition date, reason and use are documented.

JAUNE / YELLOW

Less than 365 days generally triggers the flipped-property rule, subject to specific life-event exceptions.

ROUGE / RED

Even after 365 days, business income versus capital gain remains fact-specific; do not promise principal-residence exemption.
