Is it higher to take short-term capital good points on this case, and maintain Lot A for 11 extra months?
For instance:
Sold inventory for $100,000
Lot A Cost Basis: $84,000 – Short Term, revenue $16,000 taxed at 40.8% = $93,472 remaining after taxes / $6,528 paid in taxes
Lot B Cost Basis: $2,000 – Long Term, revenue $98,000 taxed at 23.8% = $76,676 revenue after taxes / $23,324 paid in taxes
Tax Brackets:
Short Term 37% + 3.8% NIIT
Long Term 20% + 3.8% NIIT
