Does my Mom (79) have to pay capital gains tax on rental property?

She is selling that is not her primary residence.

We did and it was substantial. $14,000, if I recall.

Yes indeed she does, only a primary residence is granted some mercy by the IRS. You can expect a percentage taken out at closing and of course you keep those records for doing her annual tax return. Get a good tax preparer to help.
