What is the difference between qualified and ordinary dividends?
Qualified dividends are taxed at the long-term capital gains rate (0%, 15%, or 20% depending on your income), which is significantly lower than ordinary income rates (10%–37%). To qualify, dividends must be paid by a US corporation or qualified foreign corporation, and you must hold the stock for more than 60 days around the ex-dividend date. Ordinary (non-qualified) dividends — common for REITs, covered-call ETFs, and bond funds — are taxed as regular income at your marginal rate.
