Frequently Asked Questions
Why does holding period matter for capital gains tax?
In the US, assets held over one year qualify for typically lower long-term capital gains rates, while assets held one year or less are taxed at ordinary income rates, which are usually significantly higher.
What long-term capital gains rates commonly apply?
US long-term capital gains rates are commonly 0, 15, or 20 percent depending on total taxable income, so the correct rate to enter depends on your specific income bracket for the tax year.
Can capital losses offset capital gains?
Yes, capital losses can generally offset capital gains in the same tax year, and a limited amount of excess losses can often be deducted against ordinary income or carried forward to future years, subject to specific tax rules.
