You pay capital gains tax on profit from the sale if any - the difference between your cost and the amount you get for selling it. You also can deduct losses. Dividends are taxed as income.
Keep good record so you know your cost basis when it comes time to sell.

TAXES are always paid on profit. The base (cost) is not taxed.

You pay capitol gains on any profits when you sell.
How much/what rate you pay depends on how long you had the stock.
Less than 1 year its almost twice as much as if you keep it over a year.
Short term vs long term gains.
And yes, dividends are taxed as income, same as interest on savings accounts.

Dividends. Gain when sold. Capital gain distributions if mutual fund/etf. This is not important. Starting to invest is.

ALunaticFriend

taxes on dividends and profits. But you have to have your buy confirmations to prove the price you paid for them. Or the government will believe the lowest price paid in that year will be there buying price.

If you sell the stock, you'll have to pay capital gains tax (unless there is a loss)(I think this is based on the difference between the original purchase price and the sale price, i.e., profit), otherwise you always have to include dividends in your annual income and pay tax on that.

gregory_dittman

Dividends are special, since there is short term and long term dividends (depending on how long you hold the stock). You will need the 1040 to do the math. The buying and selling of stocks is put on the Schedule D form. That form is also where you report losses.
