Retirement tax questions

@WMann --

 

I think you misunderstand the UBIT.

 

The UBIT is not a tax on your profit (your capital gain) from the sale of your shares.  

 

It's a tax on non-passive income that your IRA may have received.  And the UBIT tax rate can be as much as 37%.  This web article contains the 2021 UBIT tax table, plus an explanation of the tax:

The UBIT is paid out of your IRA and is not reported on your personal tax return.
