ALL investment interest (presumingly from investments that are not entirely tax exempt, like state & muni bonds), is taxable from the first penny. How much tax you ultimately pay depends entirely on your own personal income/expense/deductions/tax situation

Do you pay tax on taxable investments yearly even if you do not take the money out in your account?

Generally yes. Whether you touch the interest earned on a savings account, or a bond, or anything that the amount earned is essentially certain, YES. However, something like a stock, or the increase in value of a bond, or real estate...etc., while all also investments, will not be taxed until there is some qualifying event that essentially puts that increase in your control. The tax term is you must meet the "all events test" for it to be taxable...this includes determinable, and control. That you decided not to touch it, or deposit it (and in certain cases even if it was just a check in the mail before year end that didn't reach you until after), it is as taxable as if received.

What is your current tax bracket for 75000?

If you filed a tax return with $75,000 income, there are several variables that would be considered before you can determine a tax bracket. If you file single, you get a standard deduction of $5350 and an exemption amount of $3400 which means that $8750 would be deducted from the $75,000 which would put your taxable income at $66,250. This would put you in the 25% tax bracket. Now, if you have deductions such as mortgage interest, taxes, medical expense, etc., this could bring your taxable income down even farther. But you would have to lower your taxable income below $31,851 before you would get to the 15% tax bracket.
