FAQ
What is capital gains tax?
Tax on the profit when you sell an asset for more than you paid. Short-term (held under 1 year) is taxed at your income rate; long-term at 0/15/20%.
What are the 2025 long-term rates?
0% up to $48,350 (single), 15% to $533,400, then 20%. Married filing jointly doubles the 0% threshold to $96,700.
How do I reduce capital gains tax?
Hold assets over a year, harvest losses to offset gains, and use tax-advantaged accounts (401k, IRA).
Do I pay tax on the total sale or the gain?
Only the gain — sale price minus your cost basis (what you paid, including fees).
