I bought 6 acres of land a little over a year ago. I'm going to sell 3 acres of that land very soon for a little bit of profit. Is there any way to know how much capital gains taxes I will owe, if any? TIA for any help!

If Jimmy has 32 candy bars and eats 28 of them, how much does Jimmy weigh now?

Short answer is it's 15% of the gain, unless you're poor (then it's 0%) or in the top tax bracket (then it's 20%).

15% of the profit unless you are in the top income tax bracket of 39.6% then you will be taxed 20% on capital gains
