Not sure what the tax code is going to look like next year - with talk of increasing long term capital gains - so I'm trying to hedge a bit more fiat short term, just incase.
suggest you do some searches on the proposed tax changes... the current bill makes the tax change retroactive to Sept 13th of this year... So if you are trying to beat the changes, it may already been to late...
Pretty sure that will be deemed Ex Post Facto and deemed Unconstitutional if it even makes it to the final bill.
You can't have punitive tax policy put into effect after the decision has already been made. The result would be far too destabilizing and I think it will be nullified in the courts.
