Cashing in on profits can be taxing

With the stock market reaching all-time highs, you're probably enjoying the big boost in share prices while shamelessly relegating all tax talk to the back burner. But all investors should remember this: selling stock in a standard brokerage account is a taxable event. This extra income -- although unearned -- will put you in the league of capital gains taxes.

Capital gains are great rewards -- they mean you've made some money in the stock market. When you sell a stock for more than you purchased it for, you have a capital gain. Let's say you purchased 1000 shares of NIO stock for $4 per share and sold all your shares for $50,000. That's a $46,000 capital gain.

The taxes you pay are based on the time period you held the stock in your account. If you held your investment for a year or less, you pay a short-term capital gains rate -- the same rates you pay on the wages you earn from working a job. For example, if you bought shares of Tesla in March and sold in September of the same year, your short-term capital gains will be included in your ordinary income. Short-term capital gains will be taxed at the rates below, climbing as high as 37% if you fall within the highest taxable income range.

Below are the federal tax brackets for taxes due by April 2021, for the taxable income you earned in 2020.

A long-term strategy can save you money

If you've held your investments for over a year, the IRS will reward you with lower long-term capital gains tax rates of 0%, 15%, or 20% based on your taxable income for the year. For 2020, you can completely bypass taxes on capital gains if your income is $40,000 or less (single filers) or $80,000 or less (married filers). You can also plan ahead for 2021 by keeping in mind that the income amounts for long-term capital gains have increased up to $40,400 for single filers or up to $80,800 for married filers.

If you experienced a decrease in income during the pandemic, the bright side is that you may be eligible to cash in on NIO's meteoric rise without paying taxes on your profits if your income falls within the 0% tax bracket! There's always a way to turn pain into possibilities when you have a long-term outlook.

Taxes don't have to be a nightmare

Now that you've earned money in the stock market, you'll have a chance to brag about your capital gains on your tax return. Download Form 8949-Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets to report your short- and long-term stock transactions for the year.

Fortunately, your brokerage handles most of the hard work for you. They'll send you a Form 1099-B that covers all the pertinent stock information you'll need to complete Form 8949 for the IRS. That frees you up to focus more on the exciting stuff -- finding the highest-growth stocks to fund a relaxing retirement and ensuring you hold them for a full year to score the best returns.
