On a $200,000 long term capital gain, the tax should only be about $30,000, which is 15 percent, unless there are other circumstances.

You absolutely need to check out a Certified Financial Planner. We started with Senior Financial Security (who also work with BucketListWealth) and they first asked us what is our goals. Their vision is, "Helping seniors and retirees protect their assets from stock market downturn, nursing homes and Uncle Sam."
Since then our investments have only gone up. They are very personable and Jean Ann Dorrell is also a Certified Estate Planner, author and has been seen on Fox News, reutors, Wall Street Journal and many more. Honestly, you can't go wrong just talking to her.
Her facebook page is Senior Financial Security and a web site that you can schedule an appointment on is, senfinancial.com
