Investors & landlords

That is correct; it's all income.  That's what makes it an "income tax", whether the income is from an employer or from investments.  Income is literally what money has come into your pockets.  However, there are other requirements for certain kinds of investments, for instance Stocks / Options.  Also, there may be ways to offset your income with other programs like donations, or 501(k)/thrift contributions, but that is beyond the scope of the question.
