Tax tip- January 3, 2010
Dividends
Dividends received from qualified domestic corporations can be tax free for certain taxpayers that qualify. Normally dividens are taxed as ordinary income. Ordinary income are usually wages and most compensations. So, if you want to reduce the taxes you paid, you may want to consider moving capital assets where you have more favorable tax rates. For some taxpayer that tax rate could be 0%. However, this preferential treatment expires this year, but you still have time.
