There are two types of dividends: qualified and non-qualified. A dividend is typically qualified if you have held the underlying stock for a certain period of time.
Companies use ex-dividend dates to determine if a shareholder has held stocks long enough to be entitled to receive the next dividend payment. Non-qualified dividends, which are sometimes called ordinary dividends, include a wide range of other dividends you may receive, including dividends on employee stock options and real estate investment trusts REITs.
The major difference between the two types of dividends is the tax rate you pay. Dividends are particularly popular with retirees. That means you can reinvest those dividends to further grow your savings without the government taxing them first. Dividends can also provide a steady source of income in retirement. A company or mutual fund could stop paying dividends, and even an established company has the potential to go under.
Yes — the IRS considers dividends to be income, so you usually need to pay taxes on them. Even if you reinvest all of your dividends directly back into the same company or fund that paid you the dividends, you will pay taxes as they technically still passed through your hands. The exact dividend tax rate depends on what kind of dividends you have: non-qualified or qualified.
The federal government taxes non-qualified dividends according to regular income tax rates and brackets. If you have an income that falls into one of the later brackets, then it is highly advisable that you go to see a chartered accountant about your income and taxes.

Dividends can be a great way to generate a regular income from your investments. But, as with any income you earn, you may have to pay tax. This guide explains everything you need to know about dividend tax - how to work out your bill, how much you'll pay and how dividend tax has changed.
Our video below explains how dividend tax works and when you'll pay it. This is called the tax-free dividend allowance. Above this dividend income tax-free allowance, you pay tax based on the rate you pay on your other income - known as your 'tax band' or sometimes called your 'marginal tax rate'.
If your only income is from investments, then you can also use your tax-free personal allowance before you start paying tax on dividends. This is the personal allowance. The table below shows the different dividend tax rates for basic, higher and additional-rate taxpayers in , and how they will change in The principle is the same in Scotland, although the Scottish tax bands and rates are slightly different. When working out how much tax you pay, HMRC will 'stack' your income, first counting your income from work and pensions and property, then your savings income and then your dividend income.
This is important — and works in your favour — because it generally means the dividends, rather than other income, will be taxed at the highest rate. As tax on dividends is lower than other income, this could reduce your tax bill overall. No need to inform HMRC, just enjoy your dividend income as you see fit.
