The vice-president is likely to take power. He will not find it easy to govern the country. AT 11.07pm on April 17th federal deputy Bruno AraÃºjo of Pernambuco state cast the most momentous vote in his parliamentary career.
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. 1  0% on any amount that otherwise would be taxed at a 10% or 15% rate. 2  15% on any amount that otherwise would be taxed at rates greater than 15% but less than 39.6%. 3  20% on any amount that otherwise would be taxed at a 39.6% rate.
These qualified rates are lower than the typical income tax rate that unqualified, or ordinary, dividends are applied to. Non-qualified dividends do not qualify for the lower tax preference and are thus taxed at an individual's normal income tax rate. Regardless of your tax bracket, this difference means you will pay significantly higher taxes on a non-qualified payout.
