how earnings in the stock market get taxed? does income made in the stock market get taxed the same as the income I make at work? I know about the long term capital gains stuff but what else. Does it matter what tax bracket I'm in as to how much it gets taxed? Do I have to pay state tax, social security etc?? Say I Make 100 dollars in the stock market and I was in a 25% tax bracket and took out the hundred I made before a year what would I be left with? so wait if I buy 1000 dollars worth of stock and the price of the stock increases to give me 1200 dollars worth of stock at the end of the year they tax it even if my money's still invested in the stock?

"Dividends are tax at your normal tax bracket, except for qualified dividends, which are taxed at maximum of 15% (5% for those in 10% or 15% bracket), and you have to pay federal and state tax, but not social security or medicare tax." so if I made 100 dollars in the stock market in over a year I would get taxed 15% + federal tax of 25% + state tax?

Stock Market?? I am doing a school project and I have to buy stock in three corporations. By the end of the project, I could have made three trades total. I was going to invest in Google, IKON and Jackson Hewitt. The ones I thought I might trade for are Wachovia, Microsoft, American Eagle, Johnson and Johnson, and Aeropostale. However, because Microsoft decided not to buy Yahoo, it is predicted their stock will go up. I was thinking of using Microsoft instead of Google, and I want to trade before the market opens tomorrow. I have 10,000 to invest (not for real..we just have to track what we would have if we did actually invest in this). Which of the above stocks do you think I should do? In response to raysor: I know it is a school project. Did you ever think maybe I want to learn about the stock market and how it works? Did you ever think the reason I chose to do this project was because I am interested in the stock market? Did you ever think that I might have asked this question in this category because I thought these people would know best? Hmmm..I think not. Maybe next time I ask a question, rather than wasting my time giving me an answer that basically insults me, just don't answer, okay? Thank you and have a nice day.
