This forum is primarily for discussing tax rules and policy. It's not normally used as a tax calculator. Particularly with income at your level, you should consult your own tax professional about your options and the amount of tax you might pay.

As to your issue on short term capital gain, taxable gain is taxable gain however you slice it. Section 1031 allows deferral of tax for some like-kind exchanges. But that doesn't apply to stock ownership.

I can't do the calculations for you, but to answer your question about the short-term capital gain - it is taxed at the same rate(s) as your other income. Reduced tax rates apply only to long-term capital gains.
