Non-Resident Long-term capital tax rate

Apr 07, 2008 1 Replies

Can somebody advise me of the NR tax rate for long-term capital gain (e.g. stock held for 1+ year) and qualified dividend? Somehow I feel very confused by the rules I found. Thanks.


This stuff is sort of new to me too, so here is my research:

Long term capital gain = 30% if in the US for 183 days or longer Long term capital gain = 0% if in the US for 182 days or shorter Ordinary or qualified dividend = 30%

Was your dividend from a foreign company that is cross-listed on the US exchanged? If yes, then the tax is 0%.
