Capital assets include real estate, business property and equipment, jewelry, antiques, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, mineral rights, royalties, and some intellectual property like patents.

Can You Reinvest Profits to Avoid Capital Gains?
Capital gains taxes are levies that the state and federal governments impose on investor profits, defined as the difference between the sales price and the basis (cost or cost plus adjustments). The rate applied to the gain depends on whether the profits are from a short- or long-term investment. For example, if you profit from an investment you have owned for less than a year, you will owe short-term capital gains taxes. That rate is the same as you pay for ordinary income, and it can range from ten percent up to 37 percent. In contrast, if you profit from an investment you have owned for more than a year, the rate is much lower, with a maximum imposition of 20 percent.
