I can read "Deleted Posts" because I am "President Plus" of this board, I can delete, take action, remove, unremove anything I choose to.

And Yes, I made a Joke about the capital gains taxes, not at your expense but at the expense of the mild little lollipop we were given to pasify ourselves until MTEK decides which world they want to live in.

The answer to your question is "NONE", you do not pay a Capital Gains Tax on a Dividend unless you sell the stock. Even then, you would have to have held the stock long enough to have accumulated at least a 28% gain befor any taxes need be paid after sale. Those gains would need to exceed your Standard Deduction to make any impact on your tax bill.

Have a good day....the hatchet is buried on my end....if you want to continue digging it up, take it private....this board doesn't need to see this mess.
