When you sell a stock, a piece of real estate, or some crypto, you aren't just looking at the profit number. You have to figure out how many days you actually held the asset, which determines your tax rate, and then factor in your total yearly income to see where you land on the tax brackets. It's a lot of manual cross-referencing between IRS tables and your own spreadsheets. This Connector takes that weight off your shoulders by letting your agent do the heavy lifting. It's part of the Vinkius catalog, making it easy to plug into your existing workflow. You can just tell your agent what you sold and for how much, and it handles the classification and the math. Instead of hunting down tax tables or trying to remember if a sale was a short-term hit, you get a straight answer on your liability. It turns a confusing tax headache into a quick conversation with your agent. ## Tools ### calculate_gain_classification This tool tells you if your profit counts as a short-term or long-term gain. It uses your holding period to make the distinction automatically. ### get_tax_bracket_context Use this to see the specific income levels for various long-term capital gains rates. It helps you understand where your income falls on the tax map. ### estimate_tax_liability This tool calculates the actual dollar amount you owe on a realized gain. It combines your profit, income, and filing status into a final number. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` I sold some stock for $10k profit after 14 months. What's my gain status? ``` **Response:** ``` Since you held the asset for over a year, this is a **long-term capital gain**. Your profit is classified as a long-term gain, which typically qualifies for lower tax rates compared to short-term gains. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I made $5k on a crypto sale. I make $60k a year and I'm filing single. How much tax is that? ``` **Response:** ``` Based on a $5,000 gain and a $60,000 annual income (Single filing), your **estimated tax is $0.00**. This is because your income falls within the 0% long-term capital gains bracket for your income level. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What are the tax brackets for long-term gains if I'm married filing jointly? ``` **Response:** ``` For **Married Filing Jointly**, the current long-term capital gains thresholds are: * Up to $94,050 = **0%** * Up to $583,750 = **15%** * Above $583,750 = **20%** ``` ## Capabilities ### Identify gain types It tells you if your profit counts as a short-term or long-term gain based on your holding period. ### Find tax brackets It pulls the specific income thresholds for different long-term capital gains rates. ### Calculate tax owed It gives you the final dollar amount of tax owed on a realized gain. ### Determine profit amounts It calculates your total profit based on the sale price and the number of days you held the asset. ### Check filing statuses It adjusts the tax estimates based on your specific filing status and annual income. ## Use Cases ### Stock Sale Planning An investor wants to know if selling a stock today will trigger a high short-term tax hit compared to waiting a few more months. ### Crypto Portfolio Review A trader needs to see the total tax liability on a large batch of crypto sales based on their $100k annual income. ### Real Estate Exit A landlord wants to estimate the capital gains on a property sale to see how much cash they will actually keep after the IRS takes its cut. ### Tax Planning A user wants to see if selling a specific asset will push them into a higher tax bracket for the current year. ## Benefits - Stop guessing your tax bracket.
