Dividends themselves do not have a debit balance; rather, they represent a distribution of a company's earnings to its shareholders.

When dividends are paid, the cash account decreases (debit), and the dividends payable account is also reduced (debit). Thus, the dividend declaration and payment process involves debits and credits, but dividends as a concept do not have a debit balance.
