It’s a way to avoid all the ridiculous games like the carried interest loophole that lets hedge fund managers making $50 million pay tax at a lower rate than w-2 employees making $200k.

But it should be higher, make it 1.5 mil or 1.75. These low numbers hurt the average millionaire man the most. A property owner that has two or three rentals will get totally screwed. This really hits hard for families trying to build generational wealth.

FTFY

How utterly cruel, they want to hurt the average man with 3-4 properties earning over $1M/year! Poor guy, how are his great great great grandchildren going to survive?

Elderly couples have $500,000 of profit tax free. That’s plenty to pay the “cost of selling.”

Yeah, GMAFB. Anyone who makes enough on the sale of a home to pay capital gains tax can afford to downsize.

What is cost of new condo in DC area?

Objection, irrelevant

Disagree. This is a high cost of living area, so if you have a condo for a long period of time you likely have more than 500k if its inside the beltway.

I can't find a new townhouse for less than 700k in fairfax.

lol, “new” as in 1990s?

No not per year, it’s likely just once, when they liquidated the asset. It’s not salary. So everything they worked for, and paid off is basically useless. If you have a mortgage that you’ve paid off then go to sell and pay almost 50% in tax then it doesn’t make sense numbers wise. The interest paid on the mortgage and the tax on gains plus the income from the rents make this a losing endeavor. Why not just pass a law saying CEO’s have to be compensated in salary and cash bonuses and limit the stock they can get? Why go for a cash grab disguised as sticking it to the man. Be smarter.

You don’t pay capital gains tax on the total amount you received, you pay only on the gain, which is the total minus everything you paid in and any improvements you did.

This is me. Bought a house in 04 for $575k which was an obscene amount of money to me. The house was in a bad area and was more than I felt comfortable paying but, I took a chance. Lived in the house for 7 years, during that time I got married so household income doubled and savings increased. In 2011 with two kids entering school needed a house in better school district. Mortgage rates were low so rolled outstanding balance into new mortgage and set up an LLC and rented the house out for a decent amount and hoped to hold it as our retirement investment (sell and use proceeds for retirement) Today, the house is worth just over 1 million dollars. While we are not poor we most certainly are not thought of as the target audience for this new tax. If we sell the house for $1 million then $440,000. We would walk away with $560,000, this is less than we bought the house for 20 years ago. This is complete craziness.

It’s often only $250k if one spouse passes and the other takes time to sell

How would it impact you at all? Selling your primary residence you are exempt on the first $500,000. After which you pay 20% on the margin above 500,000. You would pay not capital gains.

Biden’s plans is a combination of raising the top margin income rate to 39.6 and a net investor income rate increase of 1.2 above $400,000. You would need to have an income of over 1,000,000 plus investment income of $400,000. If you meet that standard your would be taxed at 46%. Now if you had $400,000 income and 1,000,000 investment income you would roughly paid 28%.

If you want to have lower taxes we need to tax cap gain as income.

[Anonymous]

The source of the 44.6% rate is a footnote from the General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2025 Revenue Proposals, and it reads in relevant part: “A separate proposal would first raise the top ordinary rate to 39.6 percent … An additional proposal would increase the net investment income tax rate by 1.2 percentage points above $400,000 … Together, the proposals would increase the top marginal rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to 44.6 percent.”

The main proposal, which lends context to the above-mentioned “separate proposal,” is to raise the long-term capital gains and qualified dividends rates to 37% for taxpayers with taxable income above $1 million.

Taken as a whole, then, the 44.6% rate would only come to fruition under a separate proposal from the Biden administration’s main capital gains rate increase, and only apply to those individuals with taxable income above $1 million and investment income above $400,000. That isn’t quite as cataclysmic a policy shift as referring to a blanket 44.6% long-term capital gains rate would suggest.

The presentation of the 44.6% capital gains rate proposal is a strategic policy maneuver—loudly shouting a startlingly high percentage while mutely ignoring the crucial aspect of income thresholds. The intent appears to be to play on public sentiments and concerns, more specifically the political landmine of adverse outcomes for small business owners.

At base, such tactics obscure the fact that the higher rate is couched in a proposal within a proposal and, even then, would only apply to high earners.

Selling a rental not primary residence

Democrats hate capitalism and loooooove them some socialism.

Ha, if only they knew some of the taxation policies of countries like Sweden and the rest of the Nordics they espouse. They'd be shocked.

Democrats, the only people on Earth who mug you for your money and claim they're doing you a favor.

New taxes always start like this. First they'll say 'this only for people who make over $1M!!'.

Then 2 years later they'll drop the cap down to $500k. 5 years from now after they're addicted to the tax they'll drop the cap to $200k. Then eventually it'll be all capital gains taxed at higher rates.

There has never been a tax democrats haven't like nor given up.


Newsflash: the rich will find ways around it anyway. You may not be aware because you're a peasant, but all the rich will do is invest in things like gold, exclusive artwork, etc. and simply store it at tax free freeports in places like Switzerland. The Geneva Freeport, for example, has a collection of art even more valuable than the entire New York Met!

In the end I fully expect the rich to find global loopholes, stop investing in America, and this tax to eventually find it's way imposed on us all.

If you listen to some sickening Democrats, they'll even claim everything over $100k in income should be taxed at 90% rates, because they claim 'you don't need over $100k'. This country is alarmingly becoming a socialist joke.

So? The new tax would not apply to you because you are not making over 1,000,000 in income. You would pay 0 one the first 63k and 15% on the next 551k. You do not even understand how a marginal tax rate works. It is a 1.2% increase on the top marginal rate of cap gains. This will hit hedge fund managers, etc.
