Last year I painfully took some Long Term cap gains for year 2019 partly in fear of losing some of the lowest tax rates in years for the highest since Jimmy Carter.
Everything now is in post taxed ROTH accounts. I just hope that ROTH laws are not changed to come after me again retroactively!!!
It's not law yet, but...
If you remember, Clinton even made higher taxes retro-active to the previous year!
"The Tax Reform Act of 1993 was one of Clinton's first tax packages, ... The Act was also one of the first bills to retroactively raise taxes"
