Get your taxes done using TurboTax
That depends on how much the Capital Gains were and what type they were. Capital gains are taxed separate from your regular income. The Capital Gains rate ranges from 0% to 20%, so it is possible that none of your stock sales created taxable income. If you were in the 12% rate to start with, your income would be under $89,250 for MFJ. If your overall income is less than $89,250, you would be at the 0% Capital Gains rate. Your regular wages would still be in the 12% rate and your capital gains would be 0%. This would apply if your stock sales were long term sales, as they do not push you into the next tax bracket.
If they were short term sales (you held them less than 12 months), and you are not seeing any difference, then you need to go back into the investment section and double check to be sure you have them reported as short term instead of long term.
