1. depends on the type of investment they all have different tax laws... some 15%..some based on your tax bracket some based on interest alone or capital gains alone or both some state some federal or both
2. Depends on how long you held the stock for. If less than 12 months, it will be short term capital gains, which could be as high as 35%. Long term capital gains, which is a stock held for more than 12 months after it was bought, taxed at 15%. I'm not an investment broker, but a fellow investor.
3. Mainly it depends on how long you hold a stock and your tax bracket. If you hold it for one year or less you're taxed at your ordinary income tax rates up to 35% If you hold it more than one year you're taxed at 5% if you're in the 10% and 15% tax brackets If you hold it more than one year you're taxed at 15% if you're in the 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35% tax brackets
