Do I have to pay tax on reinvested dividends ?
Answer:
Yes. Dividend reinvestment plans let you use dividends to buy more shares of stock in a corporation instead of receiving the dividends in cash. If you are a member of this type of plan and use dividends to buy more stock at a price equal to its fair market value, you must report the dividend as income on IRS Schedule B.
