That’s one big tax hit. I don’t sell since I hate paying taxes. My plan is to sell after I quit my job or get laid off. Thanks to progressive tax rates, I plan on paying zero fed taxes on 105K of income each year. Most of my stock gains are long term now so I should be able to sell 80K in long term gains tax free and 25K in short term tax free (standard deduction).
If I was going to sell it all at one. you are looking 23.8 percent fed tax on long term.
