Capital gains tax rates in the U.S. depend on the holding period of the asset and the taxpayer's income level. For assets held longer than one year, long-term capital gains tax rates are typically 0%, 15%, or 20%, based on income brackets. Short-term capital gains, for assets held for one year or less, are taxed at ordinary income tax rates, which can range from 10% to 37%. It's advisable to consult the latest IRS guidelines or a tax professional for specific rates and details.

The federal tax rate for what are known as "qualifying dividends" is the same as the long term capital gains tax rate. The rate for all other dividends is the same as the ordinary income rate. Mutual funds sometimes issue a dividend known as a "capital gains dividend" or a "capital gains distribution." This is a capital gain passed through from the fund and is treated as a long term capital gain to the shareholder.
Business property that is held for one year or less is considered to be held on a short-term basis. If you sell, scrap, retire, or otherwise dispose of a short-term capital asset, any related gains will be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. However, if the property was held for more than one year, gains on it will generally be treated as long-term capital gains. While property used in a trade or business is technically not a "capital asset," in the IRS's view, the tax laws do apply the more favorable capital gains tax rates to this property. In 2003, Congress lowered the maximum dividend and capital gains tax rates for most (but not all) dividends and capital gains from 20 to 15 percent for qualifying taxpayers. Taxpayers in the 10- and 15-percent tax brackets are eligible for an even lower rate of five percent. In 2008, the rate for taxpayers in the 10- and 15-percent tax brackets fell to zero. As originally enacted, these tax rate cuts were temporary and were scheduled to expire at the end of 2008. However, Congress extended the cuts for two more years through December 31, 2010
Gains and losses from the sale or exchange of capital assets receive separate treatment from "ordinary" gains and losses. Capital gains are taxed before income, at a significantly lower rate than ordinary gains.
