Do you pay social security taxes on short term capital gains from stock investments?

I've read that you do not from long term capital gains (held for over 1 year), but can't confirm this for short term gains. Also, does it make any difference in taxes as a US citizen if the stocks I'm investing in are on the TSX Canadian stock exchange?

No, capital gains are taxed like interest. You only pay FICA tax on earned income, not savings or investment earnings. Short term capital gains, (stock held for 12 months or less) is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.

Long term capital gains (stock held for 12 months or more) is taxed at a capital gain rate.

Thanks. And I suppose the fact that I'm buying Canadian stocks on the TSX doesn't make any difference on how its taxed? Noodle24 3 months ago .
