As an expat I pay zero federal taxes due to the foreign earned income exclusion. Does this land me in the 0% bracket for long term capital gains?
I currently live and work as an expat, and therefore am eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion. My earnings from my job are ~$80,000 which is less than the $102,100 exclusion, and therefore pay zero Federal income tax. What is my long term capital gains rate in this scenario? Does this land me in the 0% bracket as I pay no federal income tax? For example, if I sold a stock and made $100,000 long term capital gain.
