Under the present tax code, growth in the value of assets is taxed only at the time of sale -- and at lower rates than the highest income tax rates for investments held for at least a year.

And many have seen their portfolios swell in recent years as the stock market has boomed.
The United States and 16 other countries whose citizens were taken hostage by Hamas on October 7 are set to release a joint statement Thursday calling on Israel and Hamas to come to an agreement on the most recent ceasefire and hostages proposal, according to a US official – marking the latest move in the Biden administration’s push to bring to an end the Israel-Hamas war.
