tax question, (my tax guy has been trying to get me to unload this stock forever, like from the beginning 2.15 PPS) so anyway question is, i was looking at taking some profit and dividing it up into different years, i made 50K and cashed out 120K(last year) to keep my total earnings below the 180K (higher tax bracket) but he said cash half this year and the other half next year, but thats 50K in earnings and 200K cashing out (not bragging, many have done way better, i just got in at the beginning) i am long, but don't wanna pop myself into the highest tax bracket, he said i would only pay the higher income tax on that portion over 180K not the whole amount. so i wouldn't pay higher tax on everything?
