How do I know if my dividends are qualified?
To be a qualified dividend, the payout must be made by a U.S. company or a foreign company that trades in the U.S. or has a tax treaty with the U.S. That requirement is simple enough to understand.
The next part gets tricky.
The 2003 tax cut was designed to reward patient, long-term shareholders. So, to qualify, you must hold the shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period that starts 60 days before the ex-dividend date.
As a reminder, an investor must own the stock before the ex-dividend date to receive the next dividend payment.
If you're eyes are crossing, just think of it like this: If you've held the stock for a few months, you're likely getting the qualified rate. If you haven't, you're probably not, or at least not yet.
And there are certain types of stocks whose dividends are not considered qualified no matter what.
For example, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and master limited partnerships (MLPs) typically do not pay qualified dividends.
REIT dividends and MLP distributions have more complicated tax rules; however, in some cases, they might actually have lower effective tax rates.
Money market funds and other "bond-like" instruments generally pay ordinary dividends. So do dividends paid out in employee stock-option plans.
The good news: It's actually not your problem to figure this out if you really don't want to. Your broker will specify whether the dividends you received are qualified or not in the 1099-Div they send you at tax season.
But knowing whether you're being paid qualified dividends can help you plan properly. Perhaps you can arrange your dividend-stock portfolio such that your lower-taxed qualified dividends are paid into your taxable brokerage account and your higher-taxed ordinary dividends are paid into your IRA.
If all of this is making your head spin, we can summarize like this:
Most "normal" company stocks you've held for at least two months will have their dividends qualified. Many unorthodox stocks – such as REITs and MLPs – and stocks held for less than two months generally will not.

There’s a whole folder on my phone that’s just a graveyard of old bitcoin wallets with nothing in them.
Why do I still have Blockchain? Anyone remember Edge? What the fuck is Copay?

Scuba divers went into a tidal cave in Bermuda and found a segmented creature lurking in the darkness.

The cave-dwelling animal, which is new to science, highlights the fragility of the island's subterranean habitats, say scientists.
A team of scientists has discovered a new species of crustacean living deep within the limestone caves of Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The tiny copepod – a group of small crustaceans that live in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat on the planet – was found on a research trip into Roadside Cave, a tidal cavern in Walsingham District on the north-east coast of the island.
After studying the creature, the team say that their findings, published recently in the journal ZooKeys, shine a light on the extraordinary and often fragile biodiversity hidden within Bermuda’s subterranean environments.

A rare find in a secret world
Copepods are some of the most widespread and abundant crustaceans in the world, forming a vital part of aquatic food webs.
But while many live in open seas, lakes and ponds, some species are found in more obscure habitats – such as Bermuda’s caves.
The new species was collected in 2016, but it wasn’t until a detailed analysis in 2024 that scientists confirmed it was entirely new to science. Only a single female, carrying eggs, was found – suggesting it may be extremely rare or limited to just a small area. The researchers named it Tetragoniceps bermudensis.
“The new species of copepod crustacean, Tetragoniceps bermudensis, is the first of its genus from Bermuda, as well as the first known cave-dwelling species of the genus anywhere in the world and only the second within its family, Tetragonicipitidae,” says lead author Giovanni Mussini from the University of Cambridge.
“This finding from Roadside Cave adds to the great diversity of endemic crustaceans (and other cave fauna) found in the island's network of limestone caves.”
Bermuda’s cave systems are home to species found nowhere else on Earth, many of them thought to be ancient survivors from a time when sea levels and ecosystems were very different. These animals have evolved in isolation, often without natural predators or competitors.
Like other creatures in Bermuda’s subterranean world, Tetragoniceps bermudensis could represent an early evolutionary offshoot, preserved in the stable, undisturbed conditions of the cave over millennia, say the researchers.

Underground protection
The new discovery is exciting but also highlights the vulnerability of these unique underground habitats. Roadside Cave, where the species was found, is threatened by development, pollution, littering and disturbance by humans and pets, say the researchers, who are calling for the cave to gain formal protection.
Despite Bermuda’s small size and growing human footprint, its caves remain full of surprises, concludes Mussini. “The discovery of this species highlights that there remains a cryptic diversity of cave-dwelling species still to be discovered even in a densely populated island like Bermuda, whose hidden, underground biodiversity is all too often overlooked."
