What is Capital Gains Tax?
Capital gains tax is imposed on revenue that arises from the sale of a property, such as stock, property, or a bond. The tax is determined by whether the gain is a long-term or short-term capital gain. The short-term gains, on property that is held for a period not exceeding one year, are taxed at ordinary income levels. Long-term capital gains, in investments held over one year or more, are taxed at rates lower than for ordinary income, usually 0%, 15%, or 20%, depending on your tax level.
Capital Gains Tax Consequences
- Exemptions and Deductions: The IRS provides exemptions, like the
$250,000 (joint filers: $500,000) exemption on primary residence sale. Provided some conditions are met. Knowing these exemptions can lower your tax burden by a lot. - Tax-Loss Harvesting: It is selling poorly performing investments in an effort to make profits and use them to offset losses in order to reduce your taxation burden. Our lawyers can guide you on how to employ this strategy.
- 1031 Exchange: As a real estate investor, a 1031 exchange allows you to postpone capital gains tax by trading the proceeds from a sale for another property of like kind. This is a helpful way of keeping money and postponing tax payment.
- State Taxes: Besides federal taxes, the majority of states impose capital gains taxes. Consider state regulations when developing your tax strategy.
