Our club holds MDT which shows as Ireland as the country but dividends are normal with no foreign tax withheld but our AEM shows as Canadian company/country but dividends have foreign tax withheld. Does someone have anything to share that I am missing about foreign tax?
thank you, Mary Dearing

Tax treaties between the US and various countries and the taxation schemes within those countries. That's what determines whether tax is withheld and what rate it is withheld at.

Mary, ...our club held MDT in 2022 and our broker account ( Schwab) reports foreign tax withheld on the dividends.
Ira, can you explain why Schwab reports tax withheld while Mary's broker "shows no foreign tax withheld"?

Medtronic plc has established tax residence in Ireland, and as such, dividends are considered Irish source income and Irish dividend withholding tax ("DWT") rules apply. Beginning with the dividend payable on April 15, 2015, payments will be subject to an Irish withholding tax unless the shareholder that is beneficially entitled to the dividend is a resident of the United States or a resident of a country listed as a "relevant territory", and has ensured that the required information is on file with their broker, bank, qualifying intermediary or transfer agent (see below for more detail). With these rules, the vast majority of Medtronic shareholders and beneficial owners are entitled to an exemption from DWT.
I would reach out to your broker and see what needs to be done to exempt yourself.
