Understanding Capital Gains Tax
Capital gains tax applies when you sell investments for more than you paid. The rate depends on how long you held the asset and your income level.
Short-Term vs Long-Term
- Short-term (≤1 year): Taxed at ordinary income tax rates (10%-37%)
- Long-term (>1 year): Taxed at preferential rates (0%, 15%, or 20%)
Tax-Loss Harvesting
Offset capital gains by selling losing positions to reduce your tax bill. Up to $3,000 in net losses can offset ordinary income annually.
