 Bruce --
 
 I believe that you'd want to track dividends as the amounts received
 as "dividends" are reported as a separate item on Schedule B of
 Form 1040.   Moreover, if it's a mutual fund, you might have both
 ordinary dividends and capital gains-type dividends, which are reported
 on different lines and treated differently.
