do I have to pay taxes on the proceeds of the sell of my home with a reverse mortgage?

Recommend you ask a tax professional. If you have a gain on sale of the property it won't matter whether the mortgage was a reverse or standard mortgage.

More info would be needed.. When selling your home, so long as it's been your primary residence for 2 of the last 5 years, and your GAINS (not proceeds) are not greater than $250K if your single, or $500K if your married, and the home sells for less than $1M, then no taxes would be due.. But if your not selling your home, but taking out a reverse mortgage, then those proceeds are not subject to taxation. If you inherited the property and it has RM on it, and you sell it, then more than likely, you would have a tax liability, and for this scenario, you would need to discuss your scenario with a qualified tax professional.
