Principal residence sales owned less than one year - NEW for 2023+

If you sell your principal residence and owned it less than one year for a gain in value, not only is any gain taxed where it was not previously, it is 100% taxed as business income rather than 50% taxed as a capital gain. There are certain conditions to get out of this, such as moving due to a new job or relationship breakdown.
