Is the Capital Gain added to your taxable income BEFORE determining the Gain tax Rate? For example, if you had a Gain on rental property of $400,000 and your only income is SS benefits (say that is $50,000) - is the Capital Gains rate calculated based on $450,000 or based on the $50,000. Big difference in the % of the tax rate.
