Ohio Capital Gains Tax
Ohio taxes capital gains at a flat 2.75% for 2026, after the first $26,050 of nonbusiness income, which is taxed at 0%. Gains that count as business income, such as a sale of business assets or of a business you actively ran, fall under the business income deduction instead: the first $250,000 is deducted and the rest is taxed at 3%. City income taxes do not apply to gains on stocks and other intangible property, but residents of school districts with a traditional-base income tax pay that tax on gains too; it is not included here.
Long-term: 2.75% flat rate (business-income gains: $250,000 deduction, then 3%)
Short-term: 2.75% flat rate
NIIT Applied
The 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax applies because your income exceeds $200,000.
