Is Gold Taxable? The Truth About Capital Gains Taxes

Is gold taxable? The short answer is Yes. Both gold and silver (and all precious metals) are considered collectible assets and are taxed on short- and long-term capital gains. This video covers capital gains implications on precious metals in the United States. In normal circumstances, you are required to report sales on your own. There are cases where a 1099-B form is submitted to the IRS on your behalf. I'll run through those cases.
✅This video focuses on federal capital gains tax, not state or municipal sales tax.
😉I also want to be clear that I don't have any gold. Mine was all lost in an unfortunate boating accident.

    What about the $10,000 thing? Federal law states that businesses need to report cash payments of more than $10,000 to the IRS using a Form 8300. This has nothing to do specifically with precious metals.

    Given that the government is essentially claiming an interest on your asset, you should charge them a storage fee for the asset that they're expecting to realise a profit from once you sell it and they tax you. Ideally the storage fee would be the same amount they were hoping to rob from you, i mean tax you. Of course, then they'll turn around and tax you on that windfall unless you can make holding government items a tax exempt activity.

    The thing that really gets my ass is that I get income tax on my pay from my regular employment. I buy gold or silver under $1,000 in my state - they take state sales tax. Metals go up so I sell for a profit and the profits are taxed. YUP...TAXED 3 TIMES. That’s why I don’t own any gold or silver...😈😉

Maybe with a serial number registration or something along those lines. Because think of all of the money they’re potentially missing out on in taxes. I know an LCS that will not charge sales tax if you pay in cash. And if you use a debit card, he will lower the total because of the sales tax 😉😂. Look at interest rates on savings accounts because of the Fed. I was getting 2% interest on my savings and now it’s 0.6% 🤦🏻‍♂️. It’s almost useless to save cash...the only reason I have cash are for emergencies and to buy the dip in stocks or metals! 😂 thanks for the video brotha! Looking forward to your next one!

    keep in mind, it's not what the spot was on the purchase, it is the total. So, if spot was $28 with a $8 premium, your gains will be based on $36 when selling. Also, if you made purchases at several different times, you can choose which receipt to use. Guys, you should be thinking about private sales taking cash anyway. Stop giving up that premium to the dealers.

    If you want to report gains or losses on the Price, not the Value of your gold, you need to keep good records. Two things to remember. When you buy it is usually at a premium and when you sell it is usually at a discount. This is a very good reason for keeping records. The capital gain is on the transaction, not the spot price. Another thing to remember is FIFO vs. LIFO. You might have bought an ounce of gold ten years ago and another two years ago. If you sell an ounce... Which one did you sell. That choice will affect both your current and future tax liability. Again, keep good records.
