Hello, 

 

The tax bracket for 2024 for MFJ on capital gains is 0% if your taxable income is less then $94,050.00.  The tax bracket for MFJ on capital gains for taxable income over $94,051 to $583,750.00 is 15%. 

 

You are right, the tax is imposed only on the capital gains you have accumulated through the year.
