Much depends on your individual situation, but in general:

  1. Short term is taxed at the same rate as your other income, long term is taxed at a maximum 15%.
  2. The tax would be due in the “quarter” you make the sale, but there are exceptions.
  3. Yes.
  4. Depends on your situation.

I am about to conclude my first flip. I have a couple of questions.

  1. How much is capital gain, what percentage?
  2. Do I pay it at the act of sale or end of the year?
  3. Can you have enough write offs throughout the year and
    receive the tax back on your tax return?
  4. What is the best way to handle the gain if you want the
    profits readily available for spending?
