I know there is no capital gain on a primary house, but I sold my house for less than I paid for it 20 years ago. Can I take a capital loss?
Is there a capital loss on sale of primary house?

There is a capital gain on the sale of a primary house, but you can exclude a portion of the gain if you meet certain requirements. However, you can't claim a loss on the sale of your personal residence.
