Buying stocks might seem easy, but picking the right one without a solid plan is tough. I've been trying to grow my $100K portfolio, but the tricky part is not having clear plans for when to buy and sell. Any tips on this would really help.

These tax rules r too much complicated on purpose i think

[eyaalem]

While we have inflation ( printing money) how come capital gain would be a profit? It does not make sense.

[musictosoothe]

Does the qualifying income level include the capital gain for that year, (ie, if you earn $50000, but sell a house for a gain of $70000, is your qualifying income $50000 for a zero percent gain, or $120000 for a 15% taxable gain?

Thats when the corrupt made money and its so they dont pay tax

[vampireking]

Capital gain, should be talking about capital loss

[alessiovalentino]

Make it 0% on the first million dollars. What the hell is 0% up to $44k-$50k going to do for the average person to get ahead?

[richardbogucki]

Does the money you use to transfer from a traditional Ira to a Roth IRA count as income?

[alisolkanu]

you dont need a ROTH IRA then if you are married and withdrawing less than 100, 000 from your investment annually

[lllllllll]

so it's earned income she's talking about, or is she talking about the total income inclusive of cap gains?

44k earned +100k cap gain -> 0% tax on 54k or 0% on 100k?

Couple making 100K in california are really struggling to live day to day.. they cannot afford to gamble money on stocks

[sbkpilot]

Gains? At this rate losses for next 10 years

[evanwang]

Good. No capital gaines since 2021: pure losses. Save me some efforts in taxes.

[ziaulislam]

Tax deduction should be added for each kid. Doesn't make sense that you have no deduction for kids (except for trump tax credit)

[johnlim]

Miss leading? Ordinary income and capital gains are stacked.

[weixinguo]

but if you have a job that pays 50k then you exceed the threshold and wont qualify

[RomanChaar]

WOW $6k that helps FEW MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS

[julieb]

Can someone help me please?
I have read that non-residents alien do not pay capital gains but I do not know how to declare it... I made the purchase and sale as an LLC, therefore I filled out form 1065 and K-1 to each partner (2 owner, non resident aliens). From there I don't know how to transfer to Form 1040NR that capital earned in the stock market.
some say i shouldn't even fill it...

[mrbigglesworth]

This was explained so poorly. Sad it was on a financial show.

[RomanChaar]

NEXT YEAR, THE STOCK MARKET IS SO FAR DOWN NO ONE CAN COLLECT LONG TERM CAPITAL GAINZ
