short-term gains do not benefit from any special tax rates. They are subject to taxation as ordinary income
many items are based on adjusted gross income and AGI by law includes both short-term and long-term capital gains (LTCG). however, there is a preferred tax rate applied to LTCG. Turbotax has a worksheet that computes this tax.
