Usually true but in this case the restricted stock was actually retention stock that the dividends were being paid from. I looked back on my stubs as far as I could and did see quarterly dividends on my 2019 paystubs and that would have been the last year I received them. That entire retention stock award was taxed when it vested. I do realize however the dividend is a gain that would also be taxed but hope my company can verify it was taxed as regular income as mentioned above. Thanks
