I'm F-1 student (from China), have Cerfitcated Deposit accounts in Bank, so that I will receive interest each peroid. I also trade stocks online, I received dividends and gained from investing.

I want to know these interests from CD and profits from trading stock are tax exempt or not?
Can somebody help me or link to some treedy?
How to claim if these benefits are tax exempt?

Thank you so much:)

The interest is not taxable, but the stock transactions ARE taxed at capital gains rates.
