Thanks, Champ.

Does that sound we pay tax twice on the gain now and later?

Ex:

We paid tax on the reinvested amount of

      1st year gain:     $100

      2nd year gain:   $400

      3rd year gain:    $500   

            Sub total:  $1,000    

on a $10,000 investment.

 

Then we decide to sell it now, the additional gain is $100,  do we just pay tax on the additional gain of $100, or they will tax us on the total gain of $1,100?

I'm new to investment, the Pub 550-Investmentment & Expenses is pretty complicated to undertand.
