Warren Buffett surprised many by selling a significant portion of his gigantic Apple stake, and his reason for the sale was even more surprising. Buffett, who trimmed Berkshire Hathaway's Apple holding by 13% in the first quarter after reaping enormous gains, suggested that the sale was for tax reasons. He implied the sale could be a means of avoiding an even higher tax bill down the road if tax rates rise to help plug a ballooning U.S. fiscal deficit. There's no special tax rate for capital gains in a corporation as they become part of the entity's income. Corporate income tax rate The corporate tax rate in the U.S. averaged 32.1% from 1909 to 2024, with a peak of 52.8% in the late 1960s, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

If you'd told me 10 years ago I'd feel ashamed of losing weight, I wouldn't have believed you. I've been on a roller coaster of body shame and acceptance since I was 12, which, at times, led to bouts of disordered eating. My primary doctor suggested I try a medical weight loss program, which involves seeing a nutritionist and weight loss doctor monthly, as well as prescription weight loss drugs. I've been scared because of the hurtful commentary and speculation I see online about others losing weight by taking medication. However, I am conscience-stricken for taking weight loss medicine when all I am trying to do is improve my health.

That's because the amount of money that's converted is subject to ordinary income tax – which can be as high as 37%. Even for those who are taxed at a lower rate, a sufficiently large conversion might bump them into a higher tax bracket. Long-term capital gains taxes have three tiers, depending on an investor's income: 0%, 15% and 20%. In a higher tax environment, "tax loss harvesting will become more important, and doing it in a performance-neutral way," said Jerrod Pearce, a certified financial planner and partner at Creative Planning in Overland Park, Kansas.
