No. It seems to me that all the "normal" LTCG bracket rate apply to unrecaptured section 1250 gain, plus another bracket at the top, at 25%, when the income of the taxpayer pushes the unrecaptured section 1250 gain above the top of the "regular" - i.e. *lower* LTCG rates.
It is very difficult to explain how this "maximum" rate works. I've tried several times, and am not yet satisfied with my results.
The 25% rate is not *the* rate, it is the *maximum* rate...
