On the Form 1040 where it shows "tax" it just shows the sum of all of your tax, which does make it a little more difficult to understand.
The Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains Worksheet should be viewable by you when you download the copy of your return that is all forms and worksheets.
Selecting those options will generate a PDF that will include the worksheet that shows how much tax you pay on the dividends and capital gains. In the copy I can view, it does show the 15% rate applied.
This worksheet will also show you that the same income taxed at this lower rate is removed before the tax on your other income is added into the total.
You will get to this worksheet by following VolvoGirl's instructions to get back to the Tax Tools and then go to Print Center.
