GREEN BAY — They got booed off their own field — in their home opener, no less.

<p>If a person owns investments or regularly sells assets, it's important to understand the potential tax implications.</p><p>When one sells a capital asset for a higher price than its original value, the money made on that sale is called a capital gain. And when a person sells an asset for less than its original value, the money lost is known as a capital loss.</p><p>The difference between a person's capital gains and their capital losses is their net profit. For example, if a person sold a stock for a $10,000 profit this year and sold another at a $4,000 loss, their net capital gain is $6,000.</p><p>Most items people own are considered capital assets. This can include investments such as stocks, bonds, cryptocurrency or real estate, as well as personal and tangible items like cars or boats.</p><p>Capital gains taxes are owed on profits made from the sale of assets. How much a person pays depends on what was sold, how long it was owned before selling, a person's taxable income and their filing status. Capital gains can be subject to either short-term or long-term tax rates.</p><p>Some exceptions:<br></p><ul class="rte2-style-ul" id="rte-f158acd0-fcc6-11f0-af0d-45cd6ee92692"><li>High-earning individuals may also need to account for the net investment income tax, an additional 3.8% tax that can be triggered if their income exceeds a certain limit.</li><li>Long-term capital gains on so-called “collectible assets” can be taxed at a maximum of 28%. This includes items such as coins, precious metals, antiques and fine art. Short-term gains on such assets are taxed at the ordinary income tax rate</li></ul><h3>Long-term versus short-term tax</h3><p>Profits from the sale of an asset held for more than a year are subject to long-term capital gains tax. The rates are 0%, 15% or 20%, depending on taxable income and filing status. Most people pay no more than 15%, per the IRS.</p><p>Short-term capital gains tax applies to profits from the sale of an asset held for one year or less. Short-term capital gains are treated as regular income and taxed according to ordinary income tax brackets: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% or 37%.</p><p>Capital gains taxes apply to assets that are "realized," or sold. This means that the returns on stocks, bonds or other investments purchased through and then held within a brokerage are considered unrealized and not subject to capital gains tax.</p><p>But one important caveat is investments that produce dividends. Even if a person hasn't sold a dividend stock or other dividend investment, the income they receive from the dividends may be considered a capital gain.</p><p>Assets held within tax-advantaged accounts — such as a 401(k) or an individual retirement account — aren't subject to capital gains taxes while they remain in the account. Instead, you may pay regular income taxes when it comes time to make a qualified withdrawal, depending on what type of account it is.</p><h3>Capital gains tax rate 2025</h3><p>The following rates and brackets apply to long-term capital gains on assets sold in 2025, which are reported on taxes filed in 2026.<br></p><table id="rte-f158d3e0-fcc6-11f0-af0d-45cd6ee92692"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Tax rate</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Single</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Married filing jointly</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Married filing separately</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Head of household</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">0%</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $48,350</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $96,700</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $48,350</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $64,750</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">15%</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$48,351 to $533,400</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$96,701 to $600,050</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$48,350 to $300,000</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$64,751 to $566,700</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">20%</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$533,401 or more</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$600,051 or more</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$300,001 or more</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$566,701 or more</td></tr></tbody></table><p>*Short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income, according to federal income tax brackets.</p><h3>Capital gains tax rate 2026</h3><p>The following rates and brackets apply to long-term capital gains on assets sold in 2026, which are reported on taxes filed by April 15, 2027, or Oct. 15, 2027, with an extension.<br></p><table id="rte-f158d3e1-fcc6-11f0-af0d-45cd6ee92692"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Tax rate</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Single</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Married filing jointly</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Married filing separately</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Head of household</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">0%</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $49,450</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $98,900</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $49,450</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$0 to $66,200</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">15%</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$49,451 to $545,500</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$98,901 to $613,700</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$49,451 to $306,850</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$66,201 to $579,600</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">20%</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$545,501 or more</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$613,701 or more</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$306,851 or more</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">$579,601 or more</td></tr></tbody></table><p>*Short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income, according to federal income tax brackets.</p><h3>How to reduce or avoid capital gains taxes</h3><p><b>Hold on</b></p><p>Whenever possible, hold an asset for longer than a year to qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rate because it's significantly lower than the short-term capital gains rate for most assets. </p><p><b>Use tax-advantaged accounts</b></p><p>These include 401(k) plans, IRAs and 529 college savings accounts, in which the investments grow tax-free or tax-deferred. That means a capital gains tax doesn't have to be paid if a person sells investments within these accounts. Roth IRAs and 529 accounts, in particular, have big tax advantages. If a person follows the account rules, they can withdraw money from those accounts tax-free. With traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, money grows tax-deferred, then your taxes are paid when distributions are taken in retirement.</p><p><b>Rebalance with dividends</b></p><p>Rather than reinvest dividends in the investment that paid them, rebalance by putting the money into underperforming investments. Typically, a person would rebalance by selling securities that are doing well and putting that money into those that are underperforming. Using dividends to invest in underperforming assets allows a person to avoid selling strong performers and thus avoid the capital gains that would come from selling securities.</p><p><b>Look into tax-loss harvesting</b></p><p>The IRS taxes net capital gain, which is simply a person's total long- or short-term capital gains (investments sold for a profit) minus the corresponding long- or short-term total capital losses (investments sold at a loss). The strategic practice of selling off specific assets at a loss to offset gains is called tax-loss harvesting. This strategy has many rules and isn't right for everyone, but it can help reduce taxes by lowering the amount of taxable gains.</p><p>If a person's net capital loss exceeds net capital gains, they can also offset ordinary income by up to $3,000, or $1,500 for those married filing separately. Any additional losses can be carried forward to future years to offset capital gains or up to $3,000 of ordinary income per year.</p><p><b>Use the home sales exclusion</b></p><p>If a person sold a house the previous year, they may be able to exclude a portion of the gains from that sale on their taxes. To qualify, a person must have owned their home and used it as your main residence for at least two years in the five-year period before they sell. They also must not have excluded another home from capital gains in the two-year period before the home sale. If a person meets those rules, they can exclude up to $250,000 in gains from a home sale if they're single, or up to $500,000 if they're married filing jointly.</p><p><b>Consider a financial adviser</b></p><p>Working with a financial adviser can help a person know how and when to take advantages of smart tax strategies in ways that are best for their specific financial situation and goals.</p>

sold off on Friday as President Donald Trump threatened to revive the . The S&P 500 saw its steepest loss since April. In a post on Truth Social, the president said he believed China was "becoming very hostile" in , and that there now seemed like there was "no reason" to speak with China's President Xi Jinping in South Korea as planned later this month. The day was a painful reminder for investors that tariffs are still a threat to the market and the economy. Oil prices cratered in line with stocks, with brent and US crude prices down 4% on fears of weaker economic activity hitting energy demand. The 10-year Treasury yield dropped nine basis points to 4.05%. "One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America," Trump wrote in , adding that there were "many other countermeasures" that were under "serious consideration" in the US. Trump added that China's desire to impose export controls on items like would "clog" markets and "make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World." A finalized , one of the US's largest trading partners, has been at the top of investors' wish list after tariff anxieties sent markets plummeting earlier this year. "President Trump is sparking risk-off sentiments in markets," José Torres, a senior economist at Interactive Brokers, said in a note on Friday. "Investors are clamoring for safe havens as a heavy levy increase could weigh on corporate earnings and the economic outlook." "Trump's actions against China this morning were the excuse the market needed to begin correcting," Tom Bruni, the head of markets at Stocktwits, wrote in a note. Stocks got a boost after Trump first reached a preliminary in mid-May, which involved both nations lowering tariffs for a 90-day period that has since been extended. In the last extension, the US agreed to lower its tariff rate to 30% on goods from China, while China is levying a 10% tariff on US goods through November 10.
