Depends on What You Mean by DIVIDENDS!
- If you are talking about dividends from investments (interest on a checking account, CD, etc.), then that is income. Income or Revenue accounts always receive credits and, therefore, maintain a credit balance.
- If you're taking about stockholder dividends from a corporation, that is more complicated. Dividends given in a small business environment (sole, partners, S-corp) are tracked in an Equity account and the account is debited when a distribution is made. This "Distribution" or "Owner's Draw" account is the only Equity account that receive debits and, therefore, maintains a debit balance.
