1 Long-term gains are treated much better. 2  Long-term gains are taxed at 15% or 20% except for taxpayers in the 10% or 15%t bracket. 3  For low-bracket taxpayers, the long-term capital gains rate is 0%. 4  There are exceptions, of course, since this is tax law:.
Short-term capital gains â property that was sold less than a year after you bought it â are taxed at the same rate as regular income, while long-term gains get a lower rate. If your taxable gain is $120,000, for example, and you're in the 25 percent tax bracket, you'd pay $30,000 if you sell after six months, but only 15 percent â $18,000 â if you hold on to the property for longer than a year.
