Worth Knowing
Dividends split into two tax treatments: qualified dividends, from stocks held long enough, enjoy the low long-term capital-gains rates, while ordinary (non-qualified) dividends are taxed at your regular income rate. The distinction hinges on a holding-period rule most investors never see because brokerages sort it out on the 1099-DIV. This is why a dividend-focused portfolio's after-tax yield depends heavily on how much of its income qualifies for the preferential rate.
