Agreed.
But most people will see it in the form of a realestate transfer.
The excluded gain on the sale of a personal residence is included for the purposes of calculating this tax. So if Grandma sells the home that she and grandpa bought back in the 1950s for $20,000 and she clears $300,000 she won't owe any "income tax" on the sale but the 3.8% is calculated on 155,000 ($300,000-$125,000 (floor) -$20,000 (basis).

Or if she had a farm that she and her husband paid $50,000 back in 1955 and sold today for $500,000 she would have to pay tax on $325,000 or $12,350. ($500,000-$125,000 (floor) -$50,000 (basis))
