Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The bracket boundaries for ordinary income and for long-term capital gain are different. For 2022, married filing jointly, the top of the 12% bracket for ordinary income is $83,550. The top of the 0% bracket for long-term capital gain is $83,350. The brackets apply to your total taxable income, including the capital gain.
Your tax has to be calculated using one of seven different methods, depending on what is in your tax return. If you don't have any unusual situation or type of income, the calculation of your tax is probably done on the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet. The calculation is fairly complicated. You can work through the calculations on the worksheet and see what it's doing, but you will not see a simple table that shows the amount of income in each bracket.
