My client is on a fixed income of less than 40k annually.


 

If she started off with $40,000 of income, and adds in a large amount of additional income from the sale, that puts her income much higher.  So if she had a $200,000 of taxable gain from the sale, her income is now $240,000.  That means much of the capital gains would be taxed at 15%.
