What Tax Reclaim reads from your Charles Schwab file

  • Reads every action that pays income — Cash Dividend, Reinvest Dividend, qualified and non-qualified dividends, and Credit Interest, which is imported as interest rather than as a dividend so the right treaty rate resolves.
  • Matches "Foreign Tax Paid" rows to their dividend by symbol and date. An "ADR Mgmt Fee" is a depositary charge, not a tax, and is deliberately excluded.
  • Takes the currency from the currency symbol the amounts actually carry, rather than assuming it, and handles Schwab's thousands separators.

Frequently asked questions

Schwab's export has no ISIN — how is the security identified?

By ticker. That resolves the source country and instrument type, which is what the treaty rate depends on. Where a ticker cannot be resolved, the entry still imports and you supply the country yourself.

Are reinvested dividends imported?

Yes. A reinvested dividend was still paid and still had tax withheld, so it is taxable income and reclaimable in exactly the same way.

Is the ADR management fee treated as reclaimable tax?

No. It is a depositary charge, not a withholding tax, and no treaty allows you to reclaim it. Only Foreign Tax Paid rows are read as tax.
