Capital Gain Dividends

Post by jgoveas »

Hi Nelsona,

I searched the forum but couldn't find this specifically. My husband has a T5 showing 1500 in "Capital Gain Dividends". Is this the same in the US as a capital gains distribution or is this a dividend? The reason I ask is I'm not sure if I should declare it on Schedule B or D. Having capital gain and dividend in the same sentence is blowing my mind.

Thanks!

It is a capital gain.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
