CD gains/Equities Loss Tax Question

[DAYDREAMER]

Can your investments losses offset the interest gained of a CD during tax time?

Sorry if this question has been asked, but I didn't find it in search.

Your investment losses can offset up to $3,000 worth of ordinary income per year, including interest income.

Up to $3K of your investment losses can be used to offset income, including CD interest income.

Perhaps one of the professionals on the board will confirm this?

So, cd interest is considered ordinary income. Bummer
