  Her family no longer owns it. Still, every time Carol Audette passes by that old grocery store, the one her grandfather opened up over 75 years ago, and the one her father took over and worked in until he retired, she can't help but think of all the special memories she has as a little girl playing and working in that Italian market. She remembers how excited she would get going to work with her father, and how important she felt when he let her work the cash register or stock the shelves. My father had a real knack for making people feel special, Carol recalls. He always had a smile for everyone who came into the store. I remember wanting to be just like him. REMEMBER WHEN Although she has many wonderful stories about her father, there's one story that stands out in Carol's mind the most. It was during a time before huge, franchised supermarkets replaced traditional markets. When bag boys still delivered groceries to people's front doors. And where residents could shop at the neighborhood market and accumulate a monthly grocery bill. There was many times families who were less fortunate could not pay their tabs, Carol remembers. But my father never turned his back on these families. On the contrary, he would always give them extra groceries." My father showed me how much joy you can feel by helping and caring for people. He probably had the biggest influence in my life. A FAMILY TRAIT

Tax Considerations >Taxable Profits
If you are thinking of selling your home and your house has risen in value since you purchased it, or you have accumulated a lot of deferred profit from previous sales, the Taxpayer Relief Act passed in 1997 could be of tremendous value.
Prior to this law, when a homeowner moved to a smaller home, relocated to a less costly area, or made a decision to rent, they were left with unfavorable tax consequences. The old tax law allowed people who sold their homes to defer tax on any profit by buying a replacement home of at least equal value within two years. At age 55, they could permanently escape tax on up to $125,000 of profit, but any profit in excess of that amount was taxable unless a new home was bought.
The good news is that with homes sold after May 6, 1997, homeowners can make as much as $500,000 tax-free profits on the sale of a principal residence for joint filers or $250,000 for single filers. The $500,000 capital gains exclusion removed taxes as a consideration for most home sellers by giving them flexibility to trade up or down. It has also allowed homeowners to preserve the savings value of a home when they sell, provided they use the property as their principal residence for two of the prior five years prior to the sale.
Consult your tax advisor for your particular circumstance.
