40% but, that is soon to be reduced (WOOHOO!). I'm waiting to take the lead from our CPA after we meet next month. I'm in NC - state taxes are low - it's the Federal ones that kill me...or did!

Typically 30% (SOCAL) keeps me in line with what I owe, give or take 3%. But, all tax situations are different due to holdings and income.

I put a third of every sale into a tax account to never come up short. New tax code makes the strategy consider lots of other new stuff that impacts your bottom line. Pay a tad more into quarterly returns than what we calculate to be sure. Proud to hail from Maine. In case you were wondering.
