What is the best source for completing and/or verifying I use www.earnings.com to verify
ex-dividend dates. Just enter a ticker symbol and scroll to the bottom of the
page. (Though I have to admit that I don't think that I've found any errors in
bivio's lookup function.) As to whether a specific dividend payment is
qualifying or not, only you know for sure. You have to apply the rules:
(1) is the payer an entity whose dividends can be qualifying and (2) did we
own the underlying shares for the appropriate period of time (generally at least
61 days in the 121 day window surrounding the ex-dividend date). There is more
information in IRS Pub. 550, Investment Income and Expense, www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p550.pdf.
