I’m a U.S. resident who sold real estate in a foreign country. Is this taxable to me?
U.S. citizens and residents must pay tax on their worldwide income. There is a limited exclusion for earned income (up to $103,900 in 2018), but there is no exclusion for gain on the sale of property abroad.

Accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS)
