Accepted Answer

Are you selling stock of the corporation?

 

If your gain is long term capital gain than the tax will be zero percent rate for individuals who are in the 10% and 15% marginal tax brackets and for others it will be 15%.

 

Note that if you have too high LTCG along with other income than you may be subject to AMT tax.

My salary this year will be $120,000 and my LTCG will be $4,000,000. Assume that I have no other deductions that I would be eligble for.

Answer

Your long term capital gain will be taxed at 15%. However since your income will be too high - you will be subject to AMT on your other income of $120,000. So you may have appx. $12000 in addiitonal tax as AMT.

RD, thanks for the quick responses. One question you asked that I didnt see and didnt respond to was that this is the sale of a s-corp. I will collect $4MM from the sale and have $120,000 in income that I paid myself through the corporation this year. Is it safe to say the following below is correct.

$4MM x 15% = $600,000
$120,000 x 22% (28% tax bracket) = $27,230
Total taxes owed: $627,230

Answer

If this is sale of stock of the S Corp than you are correct. In addition you may owe appx. $6000-$7500 in AMT.
