How Does Selling My Land Affect My Taxes And Ability To Take Out A Student Loan?

February 16th, 2010

I have a vacant lot, and I need to sell it, but I’m not sure how that would affect my tax status for the next year. I normally don’t have to pay any taxes, so would that affect my getting a refund?

Thanks so much for any advice.
