Question

Is the short-term capital gains federal tax rate the same as the tax rate for interest and dividends?

Answer 1

Yes and no.

STCG are taxed as ordinary income at your marginal rate.  Taxable interest is taxed at the same rate.  Dividends can either be taxed as ordinary income (Ordinary Dividends) or Long-Term Capital Gains (Qualified Dividends).
