Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between short-term and long-term capital gains?
Short-term capital gains refer to profits from the sale of an asset held for one year or less. These gains are typically taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. On the other hand, long-term capital gains arise from the sale of an asset held for more than one year and are generally taxed at a lower rate.
Example: If you bought a stock for $1,000 and sold it after 8 months for $1,500, the $500 profit would be considered a short-term capital gain. However, if you held the stock for 14 months before selling, the profit would be a long-term capital gain
How do I determine my tax rate for capital gains?
Your capital gains tax rate is determined by two main factors: the length of time you've held the asset (short-term vs. long-term) and your taxable income. The tax rate can be 0%, 15%, or 20% for most assets, depending on your income bracket and filing status.
Example: If you're a single filer with a taxable income of $50,000 in 2022 and you have a long-term capital gain, you'd likely fall into the 15% tax bracket for your capital gains.
Can I offset my capital gains with capital losses?
Yes, you can use capital losses to offset capital gains. If your capital losses exceed your capital gains, you can offset up to $3,000 of other income. If you have more than $3,000 in excess capital losses, you can carry them over to future tax years.
Example: If you have $7,000 in long-term capital gains but $10,000 in long-term capital losses for a given year, you can use the losses to completely offset the gains. The remaining $3,000 loss can be deducted from other income, and any leftover after that can be carried over to the next tax year.
