Understanding Capital Gains Tax

Short-Term Gains: Gains from assets held for one year or less are taxed as ordinary income at your regular income tax rates.

Long-Term Gains: Gains from assets held for more than one year are taxed at preferential rates (0%, 15%, or 20%) depending on your income level and filing status.
