    Hi everyone , i know Florida is income tax free State , so if I move to Florida becomes Florida resident and sell my precious metals is that means I don't need pay capital gain tax ?

    Maybe you don't have to pay state capital gains, but you still owe Federal capital gains.

    I'm not a Florida resident but I was told they have a Portfolio Tax. Don't know if your PM investments fall under it.

    Where the IRS is involved, talking to a CPA and/or an attorney is much better than guessing. ;)

    I hope this is "on-topic" and "non-political"...something I've been thinking about...

    The Constitution says the Congress has the right to "coin money and set the value thereof".

    Money "used" to be tied to a gold standard...th exchange rate being set by Congress. Over the years, the relationship of the Dollar to gold or silver has changed from time to time. Some coins used "arrows" to signify a different weight. In 1933, gold was even confiscated prior to a revaluation of the gold standard.

    In each case, the revaluation of money only affected "new" money. Money that had already been issued retained it's "at issue" value.

    Today, currency (old and new) is revalued daily as the Fed manipulates the money supply. This dynamic devaluation of the Dollar over time (inflation) creates an artificial capital gain (in Dollar terms)...which is a wealth tax.

    I sometimes wonder how this is even Constitutional.
