Net capital gains are taxed at different rates depending on overall taxable income, although some or all net capital gain may be taxed at 0%. For taxable years beginning in 2023, the tax rate on most net capital gain is no higher than 15% for most individuals. A capital gains rate of 0% applies if your taxable income is less than or equal to:
- $44,625 for single and married filing separately;
- $89,250 for married filing jointly and qualifying surviving spouse; and
- $59,750 for head of household.
