Does the tax bracket for capital gains rate get found using deductions ? I think if you are in lowest tax bracket you either pay 0% or 15% on short term capital gains. Does this bracket get found by looking at your income less deductions ? For example suppose my mortgage interest is larger than my regular income... does this mean I am in lowest tax bracket and get to use the 15% or 0% rate ?
What are the current capital gains tax rate when flipping a house? Does anyone know what the current capital gains tax rate is when trying to flip a house? Is the tax rate dependent on the profit made on the sale? Say I "flip" a house this fall....do I have to declare the profit on my taxes come the end of the year? Any and all advice is much appreciated.
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. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars. If you are concerned about your wealth and family's financial well-being. DO NOT VOTE OBAMA
What is New York State Income Tax Rate For Capital Gains? I did my own taxes for the first time this year. Using tax software, I plugged in what my refund would be if I had no stock sales in 2006. BTW, my tax bracket is 15% and I'm in New York. Without Capital Gains: Federal Refund : $400 and State Refund : $1460 Capital Gains of only $4416. Federal : $260 (I owe) and State Refund : $1037 According to an online Capital Gains calculator I used, my Federal tax should be $662 (which explains why my refund went from $400 to minus $260). What I can't understand is why my State refund dropped so drastically.
How do I qualify for the 5% long term capital gain rate? I am trying to do some tax planning prior to selling a stock I have held for a long time (over 5 years). From my understanding, long term capital gains are taxed at 15% rate unless your taxable income would otherwise put you into a lower tax bracket, in which the long term rate is then 5%. Is the gain from the sale of the tax part of the taxable income? I have a very small annual income of about $20,000, but when I sell the stock, I will have a gain of about $500,000. Will it be taxed at 15% rate or due to my low income, will it be taxed at 5%? And if I wait until 2008 (maybe 2009) will it be taxed at 0%? The tax laws are very confusing in this area. Please help me out.
Liberals, what do you want the capital gains tax rate to be? Do you want to go back to Clinton's 20%? Or higher? Doesn't any of you invest even a penny somewhere? I invest a little here and there. I personally think it's fair that investment income (regardless of income bracket) should be taxed at a lower rate than regular income. Zombie, Do you want to pay higher interest rates on home loans and car loans? Let's raise the capital gains rate then. When the rich lose, we pay. Raise their capital gains tax rates and see what happens.

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?
Long term capital gains tax rate? I'm confused about the rate I'm going to have to pay. I'm a college student in the lowest tax bracket (10%) and I want to hold my stocks for over a year to recieve a lower tax rate. Will I be paying the zero percent capital gains tax rate or is that ending in 2010? If it does end this year what rate will i be paying?
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.
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?
marginal tax rate and capital gains tax? I currently make $25,000 and am taxed 15%. I have recently made $40,000 with shares and up for capital gains tax as I have disposed of the shares within 12 a month period. I am just wondering do I add the $40,000 on to the $25,000 and get taxed at $65,000 marginal rate or do I taxed at the under $30,000 rate?
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?
