great! so you'll pay 15% until you go over 488,850 then it goes to 20%.

also anything over 250,000 gets a 3.8% MAGI tax.

my state has 5% so I would be looking at almost 30% total even on long term.

I made the mistake of asking my accountant, lol.

EDIT: This is why it is important to talk to advisors and accountants to get advice on how to sell and shelters.
