Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Interest is taxed as ordinary income, not as capital gains.  Unlike the tax rate on capital gains, which have their own tax rates (determined by Adjusted Gross Income), there is no special or separate tax rate for interest income.  Instead, it is just included with other ordinary income.
