Guess I had completely missed this thread. But I believe the way the ultra wealthy manage the whole “unrecognized gains” or whatever is that they can still count those unrecognized gains as an asset that they can borrow against and they do precisely that and the banks are happy to loan them money and even when sky high interest rates those still are nothing close to even the lowest of income tax rates.

So they can say their assets are make believe, but they can still use them as leverage to get as much cheap money as they want, whenever they want.

yes, but they don't pay sky high interest rates. banks are happy to loan them money at not much more than the fed rate. obviously varies by person but if you're in position to do this to avoid the tax man you can get prime rates.
And if taxes are a bit more than you want to pay, you do a little tax harvesting. Bang. Lower tax bills. Smart.

I wonder if your creditor has to eat the taxes on your unrealized (now realized) gains when they execute on the collateral? I bet they just acquire it at market value. Really pound the American taxpayer again on the way out.

the debtor would be responsible for any capital gains realized in a forced sale.

Do you mean debtee? If the debtor gets transacted on they aren’t paying crap. Collect what you “can” chumps.

You talkin' like a UCC Art. 9 security interest? I'd never really thought about it. What happens if there's still a deficiency? Do you mean to tell me you can grab my stonks, then I have to pay taxes on the "realized" "gains," then I still owe you money?

I believe you're looking for the word "creditor." What is this, 18th Century England?

if we're still talking about loans to the uber rich guaranteed by liquid assets, i'm fairly confident that those loans are made at a small fraction of the asset value and have covenants that would force action long before those assets would be insufficient to cover both the debt and possible taxes.

if we're talking bankrupcy or something like that, i think the assets would probably have a tax lien on them prior to sale?  i dunno, i'm not the lawyer here.

I’m not so sure the government can put a tax lien on something when the taxes aren’t owed yet. Isn’t that the point that started this whole thing?
