For example, if a person (U.S. citizen) sells residential house inherited by him and it results in capital gain ofx, and he gives1,50,000 to his wife and1,50,000 to his 3 children each (over 23 years old), does it mean that he can deduct4,00,000 from the gain?
The couple is not divorced.

wife = 1,50,000
3*children x1,50,000 = 4,50,000
Total = 6,00,000
om US does 6,00,000 is written as 4,00,000?
how the amounts can be deducted from "x" where x is not reflecting any digit?
capital gain tax can not be avoided, it has to be paid by the seller, who is liable to pay cap gain tax, and he can distribute or spend the amount after paying capital gain tax only.
