Frequently Asked Questions

Short-term capital gains (assets held under 12 months) are taxed as ordinary income — at your marginal rate of up to 37%. Long-term gains (12+ months) qualify for preferential rates: 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on your taxable income. This tax rate advantage is a powerful reason to hold investments for over one year.
