How can I view detailed information about dividends received in my Interactive Brokers account?

To view detailed information about dividends received in your Interactive Brokers account, you can access your account's Activity Statement.

1. Log into Client Portal
2. Click Performance & Reports followed by Statements
3. In the Default Statements panel, select Activity
4. Select Period, Date, Format and Language
5. Click View or Download, as desired.

Once you've generated the Activity Statement, you can find dividend-related information in the following sections:

    1. Date of dividend payment

    3. Type of dividend (e.g., Cash Dividend, Ordinary Dividend)
    4. Amount received per share
    5. Total amount received

• Cash Report Section:
  • This section provides an overview of all cash movements in your account, including dividend payments.

Additional Information
