So I have some long term capital gains this year, and was expecting to have to pay taxes at the 15% or 20%, potentially +3.8% net investment income tax described here:
Instead, TurboTax and online tax calculators have me paying much higher taxes.
Could someone help me understand the discrepancy?
Here's a screenshot of an example (all these numbers are completely made up I don't make even close to that much money). Regardless, I'm totally confused as to what that effective tax rate is, and why it's so high.
Thanks!
