[quote=gzz]Wow, I was at least thinking of selling. But the tax on 3m of capital gains would be a million! No way Uncle Sam, I think I will hold until I die now, and gzz jr can enjoy a stepped up basis and sell then.

I kind of naively assumed it would be like 15% federal and the state would just be a bit more.

It is 23.8% federal and 13.3% state![/quote]

Oh no! You’ll only get to keep 2 million! Are we supposed to feel sorry for you? That is not a bad problem to have.
