Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Tax Bracket Confusion

$
0
0
Hello, Community - I hope you are doing well.

Multiple sources say that "taxable income" establishes a tax bracket. However, taxable income includes long-term capital gains (taxed at a lower rate). For example, a person earns $40k and has a standard deduction. But he/she has a $700k LT capital gain. Does it mean his/her tax bracket is 37%?

I miss something important here and hope someone can help me understand (a simple example would be best).
