You have to pay short term gains at 20% -22% i think is rate for anything held less than a year . Long term gains kick in after a one year hold i believe rate is 10-12%. hope this helps
My CPA told me last week...for as selling short term or long term ( year or more ) the best way depends on what tax level you're in....if you're not a big money making guy short term which would be up to 1 year is the best way to sell as for as taxes.
