MerryDiv dashboard — 12-month income, YoC, and per-position dividend history in one view.

What MerryDiv syncs

  • Dividend payments from your Fidelity brokerage, IRA, and Roth IRA — imported automatically through Plaid (plus 401(k) where your employer plan allows Plaid access)
  • Holdings snapshots for Fidelity's own mutual funds (FXAIX, FSKAX, FZROX, FBGRX, FDGRX) plus US-listed equities and ETFs
  • Fidelity cash-sweep distributions from SPAXX and FDRXX — money-market fund distributions typically arrive with a dividend subtype from Plaid, so they flow into your dividend view alongside equity payments
  • Fractional-share dividends — MerryDiv stores the reported share count and per-share amount as-is instead of rounding to whole shares
  • Historical transactions back to whatever your Fidelity data window allows (typically 2+ years)

Common account types you can track

MerryDiv works with any account your broker exposes through Plaid Link — the picker at connection time shows exactly what's available for your login. Anything Plaid doesn't cover can be added as a manual portfolio.

Fidelity-specific notes

Fidelity's Plaid integration covers many common account types — brokerage, IRA, Roth, HSA, and cash management typically sync well, while 401(k) coverage depends on your employer's plan. One Fidelity-specific detail worth flagging:

  • SPAXX / FDRXX cash sweep. Fidelity auto-invests idle cash in a government money-market fund; those daily accruals distribute monthly. Money-market fund distributions typically come through Plaid with a dividend subtype, in which case they flow into your MerryDiv dividend view alongside your equity dividends. Plaid's classification governs which stream a specific distribution lands in.

How Fidelity reports dividends (and what a dedicated tracker adds)

Fidelity is a first-class broker for dividend investors: trade execution, portfolio management, tax reporting, and cost-basis tracking are all handled well. Its native dividend view — the Income tab under Positions — focuses primarily on historical dividend payments rather than long-term income planning. Three things a dedicated dividend tracker adds on top:

  1. Forward-looking projection. Fidelity generally doesn't provide a portfolio-wide projection of future dividend income based on your current holdings. If you added SCHD last month, an annualized figure based on the declared per-share amount and your share count isn't surfaced in one place — even though the ex-date and per-share amount are already public.
  2. Cross-account rollup. While Fidelity lets you manage multiple accounts under one login, analyzing dividend income across taxable accounts, IRAs, HSAs, and other account types can require switching between views rather than providing a dedicated portfolio-wide dividend dashboard. Multi-account households (your accounts + spouse's + an inherited IRA, all under the same login) tend to feel this most.
  3. Yield on cost vs. current yield. Fidelity displays the current dividend yield of each holding but not your yield on cost — the yield your position is producing based on what you actually paid for it. For a dividend investor who bought JNJ 10 years ago at $65, the difference between the two is the whole point.

How dividend reinvestment (DRIP) shows up

For eligible securities, Fidelity allows dividends to be automatically reinvested through its dividend reinvestment program (DRIP), with enrollment configurable per account and per security. When a dividend reinvests, Fidelity generally records both the dividend payment and the corresponding reinvestment purchase as separate transactions. When Plaid exposes both, they land in your MerryDiv transaction feed — the dividend counts toward your dividend income totals, and the reinvestment purchase updates your share count and cost basis so downstream yield-on-cost math stays accurate. The two rows aren't visually merged into a single "reinvested at $X.XX" line — both remain available in your transaction history for review.

Tips for organizing multiple Fidelity accounts

Fidelity's account-selector treats each account (Brokerage, Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, HSA, 401(k), Cash Management) as a distinct view. Two habits worth building:

  • Use identical positions across accounts intentionally. Holding SCHD in both your taxable brokerage and Roth IRA is fine — but track the cost basis separately (Roth is tax-free forever, taxable takes a haircut). MerryDiv keeps the per-account cost basis clean while showing a combined dividend total, so you get both views without maintaining two spreadsheets.
  • Watch SPAXX/FDRXX in cash-heavy accounts. Fidelity's default cash sweep is a money-market fund that pays monthly. If you keep a significant cash balance in SPAXX or FDRXX, the monthly distributions can represent a meaningful portion of your investment income. Include it in your dividend view (MerryDiv does this by default) — otherwise your projections underestimate real income.

How to track Fidelity dividends without a spreadsheet

The spreadsheet approach — copy the Income tab, paste into Google Sheets, format — works fine until you have more than one Fidelity account or start reinvesting. After that, it's a maintenance job. Connecting Fidelity through Plaid (any dividend tracker that supports Plaid, including MerryDiv) automates the import: dividends land in the dashboard within 24 hours of hitting your Fidelity account, cost basis stays accurate through DRIP, and the running annual-income projection updates automatically when you add or sell a position.

Fidelity SPAXX dividends — how to track them

SPAXX (Fidelity Government Money Market Fund) accrues daily and pays monthly. On the Fidelity Income tab it shows up as a single monthly line at the end of each month — easy to miss because it doesn't look like an equity dividend. When Plaid classifies those distributions with a dividend subtype (as money-market fund distributions typically arrive), MerryDiv includes them in your monthly dividend total alongside equity payments. If you keep a significant cash balance, SPAXX and FDRXX distributions can represent a meaningful portion of your monthly income and should be visible in any income projection.

Dividend ETFs Fidelity investors often track

Fidelity offers commission-free trading on essentially every U.S.-listed ETF, so your choice isn't constrained by broker. Five dividend ETFs frequently discussed in dividend-investing communities — different strategies, different profiles:

ETFYieldPayoutCategory
SCHD3.42%QuarterlyDividend-growth screen (quality + 10+ year payment history)
VYM2.68%QuarterlyBroad high-dividend-yield exposure (yield-weighted)
JEPI7.85%MonthlyCovered-call income ETF (distributions include option premium, not just qualified dividends)
VIG1.72%QuarterlyLong-term dividend-appreciation screen (10+ years of increases)
FXAIX1.24%QuarterlyFidelity S&P 500 index mutual fund (broad-market, not a dividend-specific screen)

Yields as of July 2026 and change frequently. This list reflects funds commonly discussed in dividend-investing communities, not MerryDiv user data. Educational examples only — not investment advice or a recommendation to buy any specific security.

Fidelity dividend history — how far back can you see?

Fidelity's own Income tab typically shows the last few years of dividend transactions on-screen, with older history available in the Statements & Documents section (annual 1099-DIV going back further). MerryDiv imports whatever Plaid exposes — usually a similar multi-year window — and keeps it available continuously going forward, so your dividend timeline builds up over time as you use the app. For older dividends needed at tax time, Fidelity's monthly statements remain the authoritative source.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Both Traditional and Roth IRAs sync through Plaid. Rollover IRAs and Fidelity's BrokerageLink option inside a 401(k) also sync. You'll see all account types in a single dividend feed but can still filter to a single account when you need to.
Most Fidelity 401(k) plans sync via Plaid — MerryDiv reads the fund positions and distributions. If your employer's plan uses Fidelity NetBenefits with restricted API access, you can still add holdings manually and the dividend data pulls from the same ticker feed we use for retail accounts.
Fractional-share dividends are stored with the share count and per-share amount as Fidelity reports them, instead of being rounded to whole shares. A payment of $0.9832 on 14.6274 shares of SCHD shows up as $14.38 (not rounded to $14 or split into unrelated transactions). The full lot history is preserved so cost-basis and yield-on-cost math stays accurate over time.
No. Any Fidelity retail account — self-directed brokerage, IRA, Roth, HSA, cash management — syncs with the free plan. Wealth Management customers work too, but you don't need to upgrade or authorize anything special.
Fidelity's Income tab shows the last 12 months of dividend income you've already earned, but generally doesn't provide a portfolio-wide projection of future dividend income based on your current holdings. For an annualized projection based on what you hold today (not what you happened to earn last year), you need a tracker that reads each holding's declared per-share amount and multiplies by your share count. MerryDiv does this automatically on the dashboard — the "Forward 12-month income" figure updates in real time as you add or sell positions.
Plaid typically imports within 24 hours of the payment date. If a specific dividend seems missing after 48 hours, check the account filter and confirm Plaid still has an active connection (Fidelity occasionally requires a fresh authorization if you've changed your password). You can also add a manual transaction for one-off events like special dividends.
