I need help. I am selling a rental home I own in California (I currently live out of state). I don't meet any of the requirements to waive capital gains taxes on the sale. How does capital gains taxes work though, I've read everywhere that it's 15%, but is that just the federal govt's portion? Is there an additional capital gains tax that I'll owe the state of California? And if so approx what % is the state capital gains tax?
