The tax appeal of the long-term capital gains tax rate is that it is generally much lower than what you pay on your regular income. Under ATRA, that could be as high as 39.6 percent for wealthier taxpayers. In fact, it is a taxpayer's income level that generally determines which capital gains rate applies.
Capital gains and deductible capital losses are reported on Form 1040, Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses, and then transferred to line 13 of Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Capital gains and losses are classified as long-term or short term.
