How do capital gains taxes actually work? For example, if I first invested in VOO ten years ago but then DCA consistently to the present, does that mean I could sell all of VOO at long term capital gains? Or does the IRS use some blended average between short and long depending on how much I invested in the last year vs. before?

You can choose the cost basis of your shares to sell them based on first-in-first-out, highest cost first etc. If you sell the ones that are long, the tax applicable is for long term cap gain

This is right - you can elect which tax lots you’re selling. Not sure what the default is though

I THINK each investment is considered as its own tax lot. That’s how it shows up in my fidelity account at least. So for example if I bought on the first of every month in 2020, then i think you’d only qualify for long term on the January 2020 tax lot as of now. I’ll let someone else confirm

Each lot is treated separately determine long term or Short term
