Your total taxable income includes your capital gain. Using the figures from your post, your total taxable income for 2024 would be $428K plus $86K, or $514K.
The non-LTCG portion of your income would be taxed as ordinary income. (Thus your LTCG income cannot push you into a higher ordinary income tax bracket.) For 2024, the LTCG portion of your income would be taxed according to this table:
The brackets are based on total taxable income including the LTCG.
Rate | Single | Married Filing Jointly | Married Filing Separately | Head of Household |
---|---|---|---|---|
0% | $0 – $47,025 | $0 – $94,050 | $0 – $47,025 | $0 – $63,000 |
15% | $47,025 – $518,900 | $94,050 – $583,750 | $47,025 – $291,850 | $63,000 – $551,350 |
20% | $518,900+ | $583,750+ | $291,850+ | $551,350+ |
For 2024 an MFJ taxpayer with total taxable income of $514K would pay a tax rate of 15% on the LTCG portion of his income.
High earners may also be subject to the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) of 3.8% on their capital gains, depending on their filing status and income level. This web article explains:
