New 0% capital gains wrinkle

[DaveO]

I get a phone call, client is clearly upset and has been reviewing their tax return;

Client: I thought you told me that I wouldn’t be taxed on my capital gains this year.
Me: That’s right; to the extent you are in the 15% bracket you have a 0% capital gains rate.
Client: So why am I getting taxed at 28% on my capital gains?
Me: Your not, you’re in the 15% bracket.
Client: Right here on my tax return it says 28% and it’s been that way the whole time I’ve been getting these payments.
Me: Where do you see 28% on your tax return?
Client: Right there on line 19 on Form 6252.

Do we have the same client?

Had a guy come back in with his return. Saw the pre-printed numbers on the 4562 for section 179 limits and thought his wife had gone behind his back (again) and bought their son another cabin...
