HB 868 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Revise taxation of net long-term capital gains

HB 868 sought to revise the state income tax rates for net long-term capital gains in Montana. It proposed replacing the current two-tiered tax structure for these gains with a new system featuring four distinct tax brackets. The bill outlined specific income thresholds and corresponding tax rates for different taxpayer categories, including married individuals filing jointly, heads of household, and single filers. These changes would have applied to income tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

MINOR
The bill was renumbered from LC 3705 to HB 868.1 and updated with an authorized print version header. The core tax rate brackets and thresholds for net long-term capital gains remain unchanged, though the text includes placeholder formatting artifacts from the amendment process.
TECHNICAL

The bill number was changed from LC 3705 to HB 868.1, and the document header was updated to reflect an Authorized Print Version.

The line 'INTRODUCED BY _________________________________________________' was removed, indicating the sponsor's name is now filled in or handled differently in this version.

Text within tax bracket lines shows conflicting numbers (e.g., '$41,000 $50,000'), suggesting this is a draft containing both old and new figures rather than a finalized policy change.
