Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
In my state, the first $5k of LTCG is exempt from tax and the remainder is taxed like ordinary income. That is why I have state tax even though it is 0% for federal.
In my state, which is a conforming state, AGI is carried over from the Federal return to the state. So divs and capital gains are included. Then they make adjustments for items that are not taxable by the state (like interest on US Treasury bonds).
