How to lower your tax bill when you sell stock winners

December 1, 2014

Trying to “time” the stock market can be a risky business.

But timing the sale and repurchase of stocks in your portfolio, can make excellent tax-planning sense.

You see, by strategically timing when you sell and repurchase your stock winners, you can take advantage of the zero-percent tax bracket for capital gains.

This strategy can gradually eliminate most or all of your tax bill before you ultimately sell your stock!

Want to learn how to put this perfectly legal strategy to work for you? Read my new article titled Tax Tips: Drive Down Your Tax on Stock Gains by Selling and Repurchasing at Just the Right Time.

Three ways our fact-filled article can help you:

  1. We’ll give you great reasons why this strategy is a winner. For starters, it lets you avoid paying tax. And you don’t have to permanently dispose of your stock! You’ll get all the details when you read the full article.
  2. We’ll explain the “wash-sale” rules. Good news. The wash-sale rules do not apply to stock that you sell at a gain. The fact is, you can sell your appreciated stock and repurchase it immediately without creating tax problems. You’ll get all the money-saving facts when you read the full article.
  3. You’ll learn why you should wait for a year before you sell. To get the full benefit of capital gains rates, you have to own stock for at least a year before you sell it. Otherwise, you’ll pay tax on your profit at ordinary rates. (They’re much higher than capital gains rates!) All this will be explained in easy-to-understand language when you read the full article.
