    Answer:George and barbara's taxable gain=$400000

    Explanation: taxable gain = sale price - purchase price

    Sale price price = $800,000

    Purchase price = $400,000

    Taxable gain = $800000-$400000=$400000

    Taxable gain for old house = $400000

    Selling price for the new house (basis) = $1000000+$400000=$1400000
