Hello dear friend and tax adviser:
It will be time to file my 2018 tax return before we know it! This year I purchased 300 shares of stock in Imagine Corporation for $125 per share, and the stock is doing well. I am thinking of selling before year end, now that the stock price has reached $180 per share. Is there any reason to wait and sell later? If I don’t sell in 2018, I am worried that the stock price may go down due to competition in the Imagine market. It may go as low as $120 per share. My taxable income this year and next year is projected to be $40,000, excluding any stock sale. This puts me in the 22% bracket. Any suggestions on what I should do? Please explain to me clearly what will happen to my taxes if I sell in 2018, or if I sell in 2019.
please, help me in this task:
Year | 2018 | 2019 | ||||
projected taxable income | 40000 | 40000 | ||||
income on stock sale | 16500 | 36000 | ||||
taxable income | 56500 | 76000 | ||||
tax @22% | 12430 | 16720 | ||||
income after tax | 44070 | 59280 | ||||
So, tax is low in 2018, but income is more in 2019 | ||||||

As you recall, I was lucky enough to win big at the casino back on New Year’s Day earlier this year (thanks for celebrating with me). I took the $3,000 I won and bought 100 shares of stock in that cool new smartphone app company, TriviaAddiction. I just love playing that game. Anyway, the stock has done well, and I am thinking of selling before year end now that the price has reached $240 per share. Since you are my...
