Short-Term Capital Gains Tax Rates
Short-term capital gains are taxed as though they are ordinary income. Any income you receive from investments you held for less than a year must be included in your taxable income for that year. So if you have, say, $80,000 in taxable income from salary and $5,000 from short-term investments, your total taxable income is $85,000.
