Are my recent dividend reinvestments taxed at the short term or long term capital gains tax rate? I have a regular brokerage account (not tax deferred). I bought a mutual fund a number of years ago, and over the years the dividends have been reinvested in the same fund. This year, I was advised to rebalance my portfolio, so I sold all of this mutual fund. Unfortunately, the last dividend reinvestments were within the last year. So the question is, does this reinvestment cause my entire mutual fund sale to be taxed at the long-term or the short-term capital gains tax rate? Or is the recent reinvestment portion short term and everything else long term? If so, what do I use for the tax basis for all of that? It's not the dividends I am asking about. It is the reinvestments of them. When I sold the mutual fund, all of the fund, including the reinvestments got sold. The question is, are each of the small little reinvestments taxed separately, or in one big lump?

Does Obama really want to destroy the economy by raising the capital gains tax rate? Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage.

When Bill Clinton cut the capital gains tax rate from 28% to 20%, did THAT pay for itself? And on what basis do you make that statement? That revenue increased? That it increased faster than it was projected to increase without the tax cut? That the rate of revenue increase was higher than the rate of inflation? dstr his problem with Bush is the spending, and that's an opinion I share with Greenspan. http://www.accf.org/publications/reports/sr-capgainstaxes1999.html Jacob there are parts of the pro-free-market agenda that was passed in the 1990s that your assessment is more accurate about. If Clinton opposed the tax cuts in 1997 he could have easily grandstanded on the notion of no tax cuts for billionaires etc.... like his wife does. He had already won re-election. Also, Robert Rubin had his ear. Lastly, Clinton took the 1997 tax act and went much further than Congress had asked him to in terms of creating loopholes for the largest US-based multinationals - everyone in '97 agreed on tax cuts for business and investment. And they were right! The problem is, NOW, after all the evidence is in and nobody can deny that it WORKED, WHY do some lefties still oppose tax cuts?

Would raising the capital gains tax rate REALLY hit the middle class? More than 80 percent of all capital gains income went to those making more than $200,000 a year in 2006. Very few making under $50,000 would be affected by any increase in the top capital gains rate. Just under 13 percent of all who filed tax returns for 2006 reported any capital gains income, however small. That means that raising capital gains tax rates could not affect 87 percent of all filers, since they have no gains income to tax. (Capital gains are the profits realized from the sale of such assets as stocks or real estate.) http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/would_raising_the_capital_gains_tax_rate.html After reading the article and taking the facts into consideration, what are your thoughts? The only reason the wealthy in America have made the kind of money they have is because of the sacrifice those who came before them made and because of the American system. Now all of a sudden they want to change the rules? Taxes are the price we pay for living in a civilized society. The greater benefit one has received from living in our society, the greater the burden to repay that debt to our society. If we're talking about investments, then NO ONE pays 25% on ANYTHING. The highest investors pay on capital gains, dividends, etc. is a mere 15%. Income earned from labor is taxed at 35% when you take the Social Security tax (which is regressive in that no one that makes over $100k per year pays into it.) Is that fair? Not at all! Income earned from investing (capital gains, dividends, etc.) should be taxed at 25% while income earned from labor should be taxed at the same 25%. If someone makes a million dollars a year from labor, I'd LOVE to know what job that is and where I apply.
What is the long term capital gains tax rate....? for a federal income tax rate of 15% in the US?
Why are capital gains taxed at a lower 15% rate only if your seed money was not invested in a 401K or an IRA? If you were born rich enough to never have a 401k or Ira you pay 15% but those of us who made wages and saved our seed money usually have it in a 401k or IRA. We pay taxes on our capital gains as wages at an average rate of 36%. I know we did not pay taxes on our wages when we put them in at double the capital gains rate and we owe that. Warren Buffet says that it is class warfare and his class is winning. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/26/business/yourmoney/26every.html?_r=1 So not only our people entitled to keep less of their money if they earn it through work they are entitled to less of their money if they worked for their seed money. gws35 I make virtually all of my income from money in my IRA and I know what taxes I pay. Take a finance class or something.

When do the 15% capital gains rate, marginal rate reductions, and the IRA to employer rollover rules expire? 1. The marginal rates for the various tax brackets were lowered temporarily lowered several years ago, for example, the 28% bracket became the 25% rate. When does this expire and the rates return to normal? 2. At one time, long term capital gains were taxed at a 20% rate. This was temporarily lowered to 15%. When does this expire and the rate return to 20%? 3. At one time, you could roll over money from an employer plan (401k, etc.) to an IRA, but not from an IRA to an employer plan. Now, you can. Is this change permanent? If not, when does it expire?

Sold house due to job relocation, what, if any would capital gains rate be? I will try to give as much detail to our sale in as direct, cut and dry terms as possible. Married filing jointly with 2 kids. 1 income family. Bought home in Seattle in Sept 2004. Sold Seattle home in June 2006--net profit $55K Bought Boston home in August 2006. Husband works for major corporation with worldwide locations that acquired a small company in the Boston area. This opened up options for a transfer. We accepted a transfer with relocation package and sold our Seattle home, buying a replacement home in the Boston area immediately. Clearly we are more than 50 miles away, but are we able to use this exemption as we applied for the transfer? With the transfer came a promotion and significant raise with more job growth possibilities. If so is it a complete exemption or just a percentage off? Also, we recieved $10K in relocation money, are we responsible for taxes on this? What moving costs are deductible? Would our airfare be? Temp housing? Thanks!
Simple Trust: Are dividends and capital gains taxed as ordinary income? I am filling out form 1041 for a simple trust (which only contains 3 mutual funds). This year, there were approximately $1500 in dividends and $4500 in capital gains. Using the form, it looks like everything is being taxed as ordinary income (vs. 15% max capital gains rate). Is this correct? Also, if the trust were to be dissolved and mutual funds transferred to person who trust was set up for (without selling any mutual funds), would the IRS still view this as a sale and repurchase and expect taxes based on those "sales" next year?
If Congress increased the personal tax rate on dividends and capital gains but simultaneously reduced the rate on corporate income, what effect would this have on the average companies capital structure?
