    Nope. No taxes are due until the gain is realized. The gain is realized with the securities are sold.

    You do pay taxes on dividends as they are received of course, if your income exceeds the filing requirement amount.

    If your only income is Social Security and $100 in dividends there won’t be any need to file and no taxes will be due.

    Yes the dividends are taxable income, but chances are you wouldn’t make enough to have to file or to owe any tax.

    And it doesn’t matter what the stock prices do, they only become reportable/taxable when you sell.
