Most dividends are.

However, long term capital gains distributions from a mutual fund are capital gains.

Liquidating dividends and return-of-capital dividends can be capital gains.

And, to make matters more confusing, some dividends, knows as "qualifying dividends," are taxed at long term capital gains rates even though they are not capital gains.

How do you find out if a dividend is qualified or ordinary?

To determine if a dividend is qualified or ordinary, check the issuing company's holding period and your own holding period. A qualified dividend is typically paid by a U.S. corporation or a qualified foreign corporation, and you must hold the stock for at least 61 days during the 121-day period surrounding the ex-dividend date. Ordinary dividends, on the other hand, do not meet these criteria and are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. You can also refer to your brokerage statement, which usually indicates whether dividends are qualified or ordinary.
