two years ago a friend and I bought and moved into a house together with a tic agreement, and then we created a lease option agreement between us that I would buy his share of the house after two years. This was a contract between him and I and it wasn’t notarized. I gave him a non-refundable down-payment and I pay the mortgage. Now as am am about to get the financing to buy his share out-right. Then I would like to sell the house. Will I have to pay capitol gains tax on profits from my partner share that he sold to me, considering I only just outright bought the house, even though I have lived there for two years and agreed to buy it two years ago and payed him some then and payed the mortgage since?
