Episode Synopsis

SCHD investors have a lot of questions about dividend taxes, and it doesn't need to be so complicated. We explain in simple terms how qualified vs non qualified dividends are taxed with examples provided by someone else who did the heavy lifting. Does $SCHD offer qualified or non qualified dividends?

Why are qualified dividends preferred? It's because they receive more favorable tax treatment. Want to understand what that looks like? Just watch the video as we walk you through - using simple examples - the two types of taxation methods used for qualified and non qualified dividends (ordinary income taxation and capital gains taxation). This is a must watch video for anyone confused about dividend taxation, for SCHD and other dividend stocks and ETFs, and looking for a simple guide.
