My understanding of the tax laws are that in order to get the reduced tax % u need to hold your position for 12 months...so each time u bought a position in GOIG you need to wait 12 months from the date you purchased each individual acquisition. I believe its 15% across the board for all longs.

Shorts fall under the tax bracket you are placed in at eoy...28...30..33..etc.

This is what I read the other night when researching.

Don't quote me..but I'm pretty confident that's how she works.

Also if you sold and a portion of your sell is long and a portion short..it should reflect on your tax statement from your broker. All the data should be available in your statement.
