Let's say I buy 100 shares of ABC at $5/share. I sell when the stock goes up 1 point. I make 100 dollars in this transaction with out fees. When I report this sale on my taxes will I get taxed on the $100 gain? Or will I be taxed on the $600? Furthermore, in the same example, if I lost 1 point and I sold at $4/share when I report my losses it goes as $100 dollars so I won't be taxed, correct?
I basically need to know, when I sell stock, do I put some money aside for tax from the $100 gain or from the total sale?
Thank you for your help!
