Tyler? Yep.
Looks like you made $68,675 in income this year? Yep.
And $100,000 additional capital gains from the stock market? Yep.
Great, we'll take our long-term capital gains tax first.
No, you won't.
But you owe capital gains tax because you made over $41,675.
You might have missed that I maxed out my 401k with $20,500.
That still does not bring you under the limit.
And I turned 50 this year, so I get an additional $6,500 catch-up contribution to no-cap gains tax.
Correct.
And you went from the 22% tax bracket to the 12% tax bracket.
Happy birthday to me!
