It is my understanding that capital gains on long term shares of a mutual fund are not taxed for those at the 15% bracket. Yet, I don't see a way on the 1040, Schedule D or 8949 to exempt the gains from taxes. Is there somewhere I do this, or do I just report the gains on line 13 of the 1040?

AGI is less than $35,000 (individual)
Taxable income is usually about $25,000
Selling 7 lots of long term shares of a mutual fund (purchase dates between 2011 and 2013) with (at yesterday's close) a gain of less than $400.

Thanks

Tax rates on capital gains are determined by your tax bracket, but a significant number of people will actually pay no capital gains tax on the sale of assets held over a year;your capital gain itself add to your income to get to the bracket. I mean the capital gains are added to your income for the purpose of determining your tax bracket.your capital gains push you into a higher tax bracket.plz read below
