Our fillable PDF lets you complete the 1099‑DIV directly in your browser—no extra software required.

What Is a Qualified Dividend?

A qualified dividend is a distribution that meets specific IRS criteria, allowing it to be taxed at the favorable long‑term capital gains rate (0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income). To qualify, the dividend must be paid by a U.S. corporation or a qualified foreign corporation and must satisfy the holding‑period test.
