The tax appeal of the long-term capital gains tax rate is that it is generally much lower than what you pay on your regular income. Under ATRA, that could be as high as 39.6 percent for wealthier taxpayers. In fact, it is a taxpayer's income level that generally determines which capital gains rate applies.
Day traders rarely qualify for long-term capital gains tax rates as they make short-term trades. As of 2010, short-term capital gains rates in the United States match earned income tax rates. For the 2010 tax year, day traders pay marginal tax rates ranging from 10 percent to 35 percent. Single-day traders receive an $8,375 standard deduction, while married couples receive a $16,750 deduction. To fall into the highest income tax bracket, day traders must earn at least $373,651 as of 2010.
