How do I record a stock dividend (noncash dividend)?

Use the Stock Dividend (noncash) dialog to record a dividend in the form of additional shares instead of cash. Unlike cash dividends (or reinvested cash dividends), most stock dividends are nontaxable. The company issuing the stock dividend will inform you whether it is taxable.

Enter a taxable stock dividend as a reinvested dividend.
