Get Free Layton, Bountiful and Ogden School Reports From a Local Expert, Quickly by Email
To say that Utah residents are dedicated
supporters of education is an understatement. The state not only claims the
nation's highest literacy rate, it boasts the highest percentage of high school
graduates and the highest average number of years of school completed within
the general population. Utah also consistently ranks among the leading states
for the percentage of college graduates.
Half of the Utah state budget supports
education, ranking Utah first in the nation in expenditures for higher
education. Modern schools, outstanding instructors, and state-of-the-art
resources characterize Utah schools. In fact, the public education system is so
exceptional that only about five percent of the population attends private
schools.
The state is home to nine public colleges
and universities and ten private institutions of higher education. The
University of Utah and Utah State University in Logan garner millions of
dollars in research contracts each year. Brigham Young University in Provo, on
the other hand, is renowned for its computer science program. The state even
operates a Center for Excellence Program that encourages new or existing
companies to benefit from the cutting-edge technologies developed in the
universities.

Tax Considerations >Capital Gains Exemptions
Home sellers are always interested in their tax deduction options. If you recently sold a home without meeting the basic ownership and use criteria for waiving capital gains tax, you might still be able to claim reduced exemptions if you meet certain other criteria.
Homeowners who had to sell because of a change in place of employment can qualify for reduced tax. You must prove that the job change occurred while you owned and used the home as your primary residence, and that your new job is located at least 50 miles farther from your residence than your previous place of employment.
A reduced exclusion from capital gains tax may also be granted for health reasons. If your motivation for selling your house was to obtain diagnosis, treatment or cure for a disease or injury to you or a family member, you can apply for an exclusion. Unforeseen circumstances such as death, unemployment, divorce or natural disasters may also reduce your capital gains tax. Consult a tax professional for advice about your unique circumstance.
