Short Term Gains Tax - Under 1 Year Or 2 Years? Also, Federal And State Taxes?

For short-terms gains taxes, are these only paid on honest property owned less than 1 year, or is it 2 years? If i buy a house to "flip" and own it for 1 year and 1 day, is that considered a hunger-term capital gains, or still short term?

Also, I understand that the short term capital gains tax is regular income, but does that get taxed for Federal and for ceremonial? If it is both, does anyone know about how Arkansas does the state part?

Thanks!
I


Answer: Short-term topping gains are considered to be under 1 year. Long-term is over 1 year. If you buy a house to "flip", you will pay brill gains taxes because you did not live in the house for 2 out of 5 years. Real estate capital gains are opposite then stock capital gains. All capital gains are taxed at federal and state levels. Each country is different so I recommend that you speak with a tax professional in your state.
 
 

Can I Avoid Short Term Cap. Gains Tax By Cashing A Check A Yr Even Though Sale Is 6 Months After The Buy?

I bought shares into a unimaginative private company in August of 07. Now I have the opportunity to sell the shares - few months later- at a prize higher than what I originally bought at. To avoid short term capital gains tax, can I sell now and then cash the certified restriction this August to complete a year - and avoid short hold taxes?


Answer: The closing friend on the sale is the date tha counts, not the date you deposit a check.

Short Term Gains Tax???? Help?

ok if you have a claim under 250K a year what is the short term gain % tax for short term stock trades?? and what will it be if obama wins or if mccain wins??? and what is it now? thanks


Answer: How much under 250k? There are 4 tax brackets under 250k. 10%, 15%, 25%, and 28%. It is one of those 4 rates depending on the amount you rob and your filing status.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what the rates might be. Don't be surprised if in information the rates, no matter who becomes president, go up. Someone is going to have to pay for the extravagances of the Bush administration. If story is any indication, it is not going to be those who reaped the most benefits,

Capital Gains Tax - Would I Have To Pay Taxes On This Short-term Gain? ?

I sold some family then re-bought the same stock at a lower price. The stock has recovered, and I made an unrealized enhancement. This should show up as a loss for the year, right?

Does this mean that I can make some tax-free short-term the ready (equal to the amount of the realized loss), now?
(I live/pay taxes in the US)

EXAMPLE
Assume that the following happens during a isolated fiscal year:

I buy 100 of Company A @ $5/share ($500 invested).


Answer: You never said how hanker between dumping stock A for a loss and buying it back. If it was less than 30 days, then neither the sale nor the re-buying ever took set up, taxwise at least. It is called a wash sale and the IRS doesn't allow the loss. Google "further to do with sale" and you will find a million hits because the IRS has been disallowing the trick for decades because about a billion people came up with that point before you. Hold it 31 days and you might be onto to something.

Does A Long Term Capital Loss Help Offset Short Term Capital Gains For Reducing Taxes?

I will have short term main gains this year from stocks I've bought and sold. I have some stocks I've held long term and could double-cross for a loss. I have no long term capital gains for this year. I know that federal short term capital gains are taxed as takings at about 28% and long term taxed at about 18%.

1) Will selling these long term stock at a loss forbear to lower the my federal taxation on my short term capital gains?

2) Will each dollar of long term losses


Answer: You can use losses to counterbalance gains, no matter which way the losses and gains are. Long term losses can offset short term gains, short term losses can offset desire term gains, long term losses can offset long term gains, short term losses can offset short term gains, etc.

Net short term gains are taxed at whatever your tax sort is.

Net long term gains are taxed at maximum rate of 15% (5% for those in 10% or 15% tax brackets).
