2013 capital gain taxes ?

[Due]

Does anyone have any links to the actual real numbers that was agreed upon.
All I can find is 98% won't see their taxes increased but no real facts anywhere.
After checking irs.gov I see a notice saying they are studying the taxes etc

The bill would raise rates on long-term capital gains and dividends for top-bracket taxpayers to 20% for 2013 from 15% in 2012. Meanwhile, the 15% rate would continue to apply to taxpayers in the 25%, 28%, 33% and 35% income tax brackets. People in the 10% and 15% brackets would continue to have a zero rate on capital gains and dividends.

"The top tax rates on capital gains and dividends would go up to 23.8 percent, from 15 percent last year. The new rate includes a 3.8 percent tax from the 2010 health-care law that took effect today. "

Thanks, I think the article XSV posted doesn't account for the 3.8% healthcare tax, I didn't notice that previously.

I just pasted the section addressing his specific question regarding capital gains.

They have wrapped up several other increases that will get padded on, health care tax, payroll tax, the "Pease" provision will be revived for couples earning over $300k and individuals earning over $250k taking away nearly 80% of tax deductions for things ranging from charitable deductions to mortgage interest deductions... this "deal" will effect just about everyone, not just the wealthy.
