## Summary

**Creates a new path to defer capital gains when swapping primary homes.** The American Home Mobility Act would add a principal-residence exception to the like-kind exchange rules so qualifying long-term homeowners can defer recognizing gain when they exchange one primary residence for another. - Homeowners: Owners who used a property as their principal residence at any time during the 30-year period ending on the exchange date could qualify for nonrecognition if they exchange it solely for another property that will be their principal residence. - Timing and scope: The rule would apply to exchanges completed after December 31, 2026 and would create an alternate basis for nonrecognition under Internal Revenue Code section 1031 while preserving existing 1031 pathways for investment property. - Tax-code edits: The bill would add conforming amendments to section 1031 headings and the tax code table of sections to insert "held for use as principal residence" after "investment".
