There may be taxes in addition to the tax rates shown in the above table.
- Taxpayers earning income above certain thresholds ($200,000 for singles and heads of household, $250,000 for married couples filing jointly and qualifying widowers with dependent children, and $125,000 for married couples filing separately) pay an additional 3.8% tax, known as the Affordable Care Act tax provisions#net investment income tax, on investment income above their threshold, with additional limitations.[3][4] Therefore, the top federal tax rate on long-term capital gains is 23.8%.
- State and local taxes often apply to capital gains. In a state whose tax is stated as a percentage of the federal tax liability, the percentage is easy to calculate. Some states structure their taxes differently. In this case, the treatment of long-term and short-term gains does not necessarily correspond to the federal treatment.
