How To Avoid Paying Tax on Capital Gains

[@binhvong5297]

Please continuing making these videos, they are so useful. There are information here that I don't hear from others, i.e. splitting up LT gain and LT gain goes on top of earned income. Thank you!

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

@RonaldRyan9 Quitting may not be the best approach if you ask me. This is where an AI comes into the picture. I barely have time to trade myself as my job swallows up most of my time. 'Bridget Mary Turow", a licensed fiduciary who has made me over 5 figures in profit in less than seven months, handles my investments. I could leave you a lead if you need help.

Very informative video and thank you for the income stacking clarification. Well done …Ted

Great video, I consider myself very knowledgeable on long term capital gains taxes, but I never even considered maxing out taxable 401K and IRA contributions in order to reduce income to get more gains into the 0% bucket.

[@keithmachado-pp6fv]

You never really pay 20% because in that bracket you would have to pay the additional 3.8% tax so it’s 23.8%.

I'm now retired but do some day trading for extra income. How about a video as to whether or not to set up an "S" or "C" Corp for day traders? Deductions for: health insurance, long term care (LTC) premiums, setting up a SEP or 401k etc. Great VIDS!

Tell me if I am wrong (I usually am) :-) From what I gathered from your video. My mother-in-law's situation: Primary residence Purchased in 1983 for about $400k (and lived in since) No more mortgage (paid off) Value now: 1.75m (let's say we sell at that) Improvements = Maybe around $50k So delta = 1.3m from purchase and sale of house. Minus the 250K allowance (she's single) = 1.05m so that is the profit she walks away with. Current income level: She only gets a very small SS check each month. So her effective tax rate when I file is 0% Basically she makes around $15k per year. So does that mean since this is a long term situation (she's owned the house and lived in since 1983) and because her tax rate when she files is 0%, that the gains she's made on the house won't get taxed? Because her effect tax rate is 0%? This is where I am sure I am misunderstanding things.

Please consult an accountant for the actual numbers for your situation. If her taxable income (line 15 of f1040) is ZERO and she is married filing jointly, then in 2022 the first $83,350 of the real estate long term gains will be taxed at 0%. Then the next $83,350 to $517,200 will be taxed at 15%. The final $517,200 and above will be taxed at 20%. But wait there is more! You must also pay an additional 3.8% on your MAGI over $250K. At 15% you pay $65,078 At 20% you pay $106,560 with an additional 3.8% on ($1.05M - $250K) = $30,400 If her MAGI is $0, then her total tax liability for the sale in 2022 is $202,038.

[@wanglelife]

The amount subject to 0% is based on your taxable income not your AGI. Do the exercise on the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains Worksheet and you will see what I mean. Line 9 on that worksheet tells you how to get the amount subject to 0% tax rate for Long Term Cap Gains.

[@conniealbete7367]

How would converting traditional IRA's to ROTH IRA's affect the long term capital gains rate on an investment property that we plan to sell. Will the conversion affect our AGI?

[@tedzagami7801]

Hi..., I am in Pheonix, AZ. Do capital gain tax apply to mobile homes...? I bought the MH 4yrs ago and have been paying the taxes on it, the thing is... That I had a problem getting the title transferred to me for the longest time. I FINALLY got the title transferred 6 months ago and now I'm selling the MH at a nice profit. The land is leased at $600, and I was a private buyer that bought from a private seller... I already bought another home in FL. 4 months ago and plan on moving there when this is sold... Can the Capital G tax (if any) be deferred to the new home...??? I am unemployed. 56yrs old. And these are primary residents for me... It does show on the community lease that I have been here since 2017, but the tax office has the previous owner on their records paying the taxes up until 2021... Am I screwed...😣 WORRIED...😓

[@hunagirl6]

Please help clarify what you are presenting. You’ve mentioned taxable income and AGI when talking about the long term capital gains tax rates. I realize taxable income and AGI are not the same thing. What are the figure ranges shown in the tax rate chart representing? Is it the taxable income that’s left after the standard deduction is subtracted?

[@greenbushfinancialgroup]

It's based on "taxable income" which is your AGI minus either the standard deduction or itemized deduction. (Comment is for education. Not advice)

[@hunagirl6]

Thank you for your reply

[@joycewright5386]

What about IRMAA? Will long term capital gains trigger IRMAA penalties?

[@greenbushfinancialgroup]

Yes, long term capital gains income counts toward the Medicare IRMAA (Education. Not Advice)

[@pablohernandez1159]

Is this gross or net income?

[@behrensf84]

Can you offset long term capital gains on stocks, with depreciation from an investment property?

[@sarala1jan]

I have a quick question: I am Single, in the 24% tax bracket due to my full-time job making $130K. I sold TSLA stock Ive held for almost 2 years with capital gains of $20K. Would I pay tax on the TSLA stocks at 0% or 15% rate?

[@greenbushfinancialgroup]

Since your income is $130K, you would most likely pay Long Term Gain tax of 15% Federal tax on the full gain and potentially state tax depending on the state that you live in. (Comment is for education. Not advice)

[@xSayPleasex]

Great video! Details on the long term CAP gains tax brackets info was surprisingly difficult to find and you even went into details about tax sheltering strategies! Thanks so much.

[@kenreding]

So if I only make 35,000 a year at my full time job I will never have to pay any capital gains tax?

[@jdmcc]

No. If married filling jointly...$83,350 - $35,000=$48,350 of capital gains you can add to your 'income', tax free! Try to make that $35,000 "disappear", into 401k/HSA/ROTH IRA Reduce that income earned as a salary by maxing out salary

[@kenreding]

@@jdmcc , if I don't have to pay taxes on the capital gains then why should I do anything else with my income. I will have a 500,000 capital gain from a one time stock sale with a zero income year and you say I won't have to pay a penny in tax.

[@jdmcc]

@@kenreding wrong. Since you wont have a w-2 or take from you 401k this year.... You will pay zero dollars in tax for the first $83,350 worth of that stock you sell.(only.....$41,675 if filing single) If you sell $1 more, 15c(15%) will be taxed!

Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

[@TeddyAlexanderv6]

People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

[@OscarBarnaby3k]

Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

[@NikolasMartine01]

I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!

[@OscarBarnaby3k]

My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..

[@NikolasMartine01]

I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an email shortly.
