What is a qualified dividend?

Qualified dividends are the ordinary dividends subject to the same 0%, 15%, or 20% maximum tax rate that applies to net capital gain. They should be shown in box 1b of the Form 1099-DIV you receive.

The maximum rate of tax on qualified dividends is the following.

  • 0% on any amount that otherwise would be taxed at a 10% or 15% rate.

  • 15% on any amount that otherwise would be taxed at rates greater than 15% but less than 39.6%.

  • 20% on any amount that otherwise would be taxed at a 39.6% rate.

To qualify for the maximum rate, all of the following requirements must be met.
