Tax Tips
  • Short-term gains (held less than 1 year) are taxed as ordinary income.
  • Long-term gains (held more than 1 year) are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income.
  • Losses can offset gains and up to $3,000 of ordinary income per year.
  • Tax-loss harvesting involves selling losing positions to offset gains.
