What happened
The Internal Revenue Service classifies a personal home as personal-use property, meaning losses incurred from its sale are completely non-deductible, unlike losses on stock sales. Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission legally requires fiduciaries to put client interests first. Tax rules also affect Social Security, where combined income can make portions of benefits taxable.

Why it matters
The new real estate classification means retirees selling homes at a loss may not receive the expected tax break. Furthermore, increased taxable income from investments or sales can draw more Social Security benefits into the taxable range.
