Question: Is there a capital gains tax on Gold? If I have physical posession of Gold, and I sell it, do I have to pay taxes on it?

Answer: Yes there is.  The basis is the amount you paid for it and the difference between the basis and the selling price is the capital gain on which there is a federal tax and in many states a state tax.
