For US citizens, stock dividends have another big benefit. If you are in either the 10 or 15% income tax bracket, the federal tax on dividends is 0%. If you are in a 25-28-33 or 35% income tax bracket, the tax rate on dividends is limited to 15%. I believe that Obama has proposed allowing this benefit to expire at the end of this year for people in the top couple of brackets, but (supposedly) it will remain in place for all but those very high income taxpayers.
