Tax Questions

Term · Finance and investing · MLC-T-FIN-000374

Investors sometimes contact the SEC asking about the tax consequences when they sell securities. In particular, investors want to know whether they will have to pay a capital gains tax or can take a capital loss. The SEC does not regulate this area. The Internal Revenue Service does instead.

For information about capital gains and losses, go to the website of the IRS.
