What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AZ
If I purchase a large amount of foreign currency and the value of the currency shows an increase over time; will there be a tax on the appreciation of the currency when I convert it back to US dollars?
Is this currency considered a capital asset?
Will the length of time the currency was held have an impact on the percentage of tax (such as long term or short term)?
Please Advise, thank you.
