What is the capital gains deduction limit?
If you disposed of QFFP, QSBCS, QFP, or QXP you may be eligible for the lifetime capital gains exemption (LCGE). Because you only include
one half of a capital gain in your income, your cumulative capital gains deduction is one half the LCGE.
The total of your capital gains deductions on gains arising from dispositions in 2023 of qualifying capital property has increased
to $485,595 (one half of the $971,190 LCGE for 2023).
For dispositions of QFFP after April 20, 2015, the LCGE has increased to $1,000,000. This additional deduction does not apply to dispositions of qualified QSBCS.
