dividend income
Stock ownership payments
Dividend income is money received from owning shares in a company that distributes part of its profits to shareholders.
Unlike capital gains from selling stock, dividend income arrives periodically—typically quarterly—as passive earnings: Her portfolio generates enough dividend income to cover living expenses.
For tax purposes, dividend income is often distinguished from wages and interest.
