My neighbor has approached me about buying 5 acres of land that is part of my property. If everything goes through, I will be looking at about $50k in long term capital gains. Now, I make $60k a year in salary plus a bonus around 5k. My question is if I have the company I work for hold my salary for the rest of the year and have it converted into a bonus in January of 2026 would I avoid having to pay the 15% in long term capital gains?
