Post Body

So I’m a student on the GI Bill and receive $3,600 a month from the stipends (non taxed income). I graduate next year and will start my career.

The question I have is, when I file my taxes, these past few years I’ve had no income. I’ve made about $8,000 from the stock market (amazon/Google/Nvdia) in the past few years and was wondering if it would be smart to sell my shares while I don’t have income in the lowest tax bracket and take the gains. I would then go and throw the money into ETFs.

Just curious what you guys think. Don’t really know much about taxes and was thinking if it’s be a good idea to do this.
