Dividend income tax is the tax paid on earnings distributed to shareholders from a company’s profits. These dividends are usually taxed as ordinary income or qualified dividends, depending on how long the investor has held the stock and the company’s classification. Qualified dividends often enjoy lower tax rates, while ordinary dividends are taxed at standard income rates. Understanding dividend income tax helps investors plan better, maximize returns, and ensure compliance with tax laws. Accurate reporting of dividends is essential to avoid IRS penalties and maintain proper financial records.
