Why would you remain in the 15% capital gains tax bracket?
I've been running several calculators and most estimate around 8%-11% tax when we retire. So I think I'll err on the side of caution and use 12% for my estimations. That's slightly better than 15%.
Regarding additional taxes, we have no state income tax in Washington state. We do have sales tax, gas tax, and fairly high property taxes.
