Question I am 71 yrs old
My income $ 16000
If I sell gold w/ a capital gain of $ 8000
What will be the rate on capital gains tax?
Answer I'm not your accountant Ernesto who is who you should you consult.
If your income is $16k plus the $8k I'd expect you to pay nearly no tax anyway. Social Security would be zero taxable and if there isn't much else you should be clear
