Ah I see. My numbers are correct given our previous tax bracket years. But since the wife isn’t working this year, I may be able to slip our household income into the 0% long term gains rate. More money into the 401k should do the trick. That would be sweet!

It does drop for lost people as it’s comsidered a long term capital gain after holding a year. See Buehlers article. Very helpful.
