To minimize capital gains tax, you can hold investments for more than a year to qualify for lower long-term capital gains rates. Offset gains with losses through tax-loss harvesting, or reinvest proceeds into tax-advantaged accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s. You can also strategically time the sale of assets, spreading gains over multiple tax years, or donate appreciated assets to charity for tax benefits. Consulting with a tax professional can help tailor these strategies to your financial situation.
