By Yvonne Beer, McHenry County Board of Realtors Legislation regulating installment sales has resulted in major changes affecting taxpayers who use this mechanism in the transfer of real estate. The Installment Sales Revision Act of I960 has brought about changes which should simplify use of this device. The reason for the popularity of the installment sale agreement in the transfer of real estate is that in ordinary property tran­ sactions, the entire gain must be reported in the taxable year of the sale. Under an installment sale, however, the purchase price PAGE It - PLA1NDEALJER - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27,1982 Additional provisions included in the act affect sales transferring property from one family member to another and sales which are subject to a contingency. could be received in the year of the installment sale. The new law eliminates this rule. Now the seller may receive any amount less than the total selling price in the year of the sale and still qualify for installment sales reporting of gain. ' Two Payment Rule: Under the old rule, the seller had to receive two or more payments in two or more taxable years to qualify. This qualification has been eliminated under the new Act. Now the seller may enter into an installment sale arrangement in one taxable year with no down payment and receive a lump sum payment in a sub- A detailed explanation of the Installment Sales Act of 1980 may be obtained through your local Internal Revenue Service office, or call your tax accountant for additional information. y- is paid over the period oftfie""s8jlfcnt taxable year.

McHenry high school staff members, Toby Scott, Tom Eickenberg, Bill Winkel and Ron Dale, attended a solar energy workshop in Crystal Lake Friday, Jan. 22 and Saturday, Jan. 23.

I have now discovered some defects which the seller refused to fix. Can the VA help me?

The Building Trades vocational instructor, Bill Winkel, indicated recently that the current house under construction by McHenry high school students at 4833 Pyndale is designed with passive solar features. For example, 75 percent of the windows in this house will face due south to maximize the collection of solar .heat. In addition, energy- conserving insulation techniques will be utilized throughout the construction to minimize heat loss. The local teachers at­ tended this conference to increase their knowledge in the area of energy con­ servation as it applies to home construction. These innovative techniques can then be incorporated into the building Trades and Ar­ c h i t e c t u r a l D r a f t i n g curricula. i n s t a l l m e n t s a l e s agreement, resulting in reduced tax liability.

Under the new regulations, the installment method of reporting gain is automatic for qualified sales, unless the t a x p a y e r s p e c i f i c a l l y decides otherwise on or before the tax return is due.
