Over one year - at least a year and a day, to qualify as long term capital gains.

More than one year. A holding period of 366 days is sufficient.

I believe the law states "over 1 year".

So....one year plus one day.

a year, but don't cut it too close, I think it depends on the settlement date which is a few days after the order is filled
