    The correct answer to the following question is option A) $0

    Explanation:

    Given information -

    House bought 15 years ago by Jerry at - $60,000

    Jerry and her wife Debbie sold the house for - $340,000

    The realized gain for Jerry and Debbie on the sale of house - $280,000 ($340,000 - $60,000)

    Jerry and Debbie wants to file joint tax return, and they are allowed an exclusion up to $500,000. Which means if the amount of gain doesn't exceed $500,000, then they won't have to pay tax on this gain.
