Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Q.  It is my understanding that since my taxable  income (after deductions)  is below $47,150 (2024), I do not owe any tax.  I know this would be true if the income was from capital gains.  What I am wondering is if the same applies when the income is from qualified dividends?

A. Yes.  But, you are still required to file a federal (and probably state) income tax return because your total income is over $14,600 .    Your tax will be calculated on the Qualified dividends and capital gains work sheet. Technically, that income is taxed at 0%.  You will not qualify for the free edition of TurboTax.
