You WILL HAVE to report the transaction on the schedule D of the 1040 tax form and up to 3000 of loss for the year will be used to offset up to 3000 of ordinary income for the year any amount of the remaining loss will then be carried over to the next years until the loss is completely used up.

What are the tax rates on short term capital gains and long term capital gains for a student with no income but who has 10000 in the stock market?

There is no such animal as a short term capital gain or loss... When you hold the stock for a year or more it is treated as capital and the tax rate on your realized gains is (currently) 15%. If you sell out and had held for less than a year, your gain or loss is netted together with other ordinary income such as the pay you get from a regular job, and is subject to the same tax rates as for your regular paycheck.
