Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, you can claim all allowable deductions, such as your Exemption and your Standard Deduction (or Itemized Deductions).
Yes, sales tax, charitable donations, and medical costs in excess of 10% of your AGI would be Itemized deductions. As Critter points out, if your total Itemized deductions are larger than your Standard Deduction, that would give you a larger deduction.
Your AGI is $100,000. That comes before your exemptions and Standard Deduction/Itemized Deductions.
If your total "taxable income" (Line 43 of your Form 1040, which is AGI minus exemptions and Standard Deduction/Itemized deductions) falls in the 15% tax bracket, all of your capital gain will be taxed at 0%. If your "taxable income" is above that, only the portion that is above the 15% 'regular' tax bracket will be taxed at the long-term capital gain rate of 15%.
If you live in a State that has income tax, most States tax long-term capital gains at regular rates.
