Some of the most common questions I get over on our Patreon have to do with how dividends are taxed. Given how vast this topic is, I decided to put together a guide that’ll hopefully help investors who have questions about how dividends are taxed and what to expect from different types of dividend-paying investments. But before we get started, I have to make a few disclaimers. The information in this video applies to investors in the United States. So things can differ significantly if you’re outside the U.S., and you’ll need to check your own local laws and regulations to determine how much of this information applies to you if you’re not in the U.S.

This video is for informational purposes only, and if you have any complex tax questions, you’ll want to speak to a tax expert regarding the issue. Because this video is serving as a general guide I’m not going to go too in-depth on advanced tax strategies. Also note that laws and tax brackets change, so depending on when you happen to be watching this video some of this information may be outdated, so that’s something else you’ll want to check.
