Understanding how stock taxes work is crucial for both new and seasoned investors. Taxes on stock investments are primarily determined by whether you have realized or unrealized gains. Unrealized gains occur when the value of your stocks increases, but you haven’t sold them yet. Realized gains are profits you make when you sell your stock.

In this video, tax expert Karlton Dennis explains everything that you need to know about taxes on stocks. In addition to discussing the differences between unrealized and realized gains, Karlton also explains how capital gains taxes work, what the capital gains tax rates are, and much more.

Another important thing to understand when it comes to taxes on stocks is how taxes work for dividends. Dividends from stocks are also subject to taxes, with two types: ordinary and qualified dividends. Karlton walks you through the differences between how these two types of dividends are taxes.
