Would the capital gains tax change actually pass?

Whether a proposed change to federal capital gains tax law will actually pass is not something a real estate agent or this answer can predict, since that depends on Congress and the broader legislative process. Tracking a specific bill's status directly through Congress or a CPA who follows tax policy is more reliable than treating any proposal as settled before it becomes law. Current law remains in effect and applies to any sale until an actual change is signed. Brian Beatty can point a seller to a CPA who tracks these proposals for planning purposes.
