Dividend Tracker for Charles Schwab
Track your Schwab dividends, ETFs, and retirement accounts in one dashboard. Connect your Schwab brokerage, IRA, or migrated-from-TD-Ameritrade account through Plaid — MerryDiv imports your dividend payments, tracks SCHD / SCHG / SCHY alongside individual stocks, and consolidates income across taxable and retirement accounts. Free to get started.
MerryDiv dashboard — combined view of Schwab brokerage + IRA + legacy TD accounts.
What MerryDiv syncs
- Dividend payments from your Schwab brokerage, IRA, and Roth IRA accounts — imported automatically through Plaid
- Full support for Schwab's dividend ETF family: SCHD, SCHG, SCHY, SCHF, SCHV, SCHB
- Legacy TD Ameritrade accounts migrated to Schwab in 2023 — the transaction history carries over cleanly
- Money-market cash-sweep holdings (like SWVXX) appear in your portfolio view alongside equity positions; distributions import based on how Plaid classifies them
- Fractional-share dividends from Schwab's Slices program preserved without rounding to whole shares
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.
Schwab-specific notes
Schwab's Plaid coverage broadened after the 2023 TD Ameritrade integration finalized. A few things worth flagging:
- TD Ameritrade migration. Historical transactions from TD Ameritrade moved with the account into Schwab. MerryDiv reads them as Schwab transactions — you'll see continuity, not a break in your dividend timeline.
- SCHD's annual reconstitution. Schwab's flagship dividend ETF pays quarterly and reconstitutes its underlying index once a year (typically in March). MerryDiv follows the actual declared distributions, so rebalance-adjusted payments show up correctly rather than getting flagged as inconsistent.
- Solo 401(k) plans. Where Schwab exposes an Individual 401(k) via Plaid, it syncs through the same connector as retail IRAs. Coverage varies by account — check the Plaid picker to confirm your specific account is available.

Schwab's dividend reporting — strengths and gaps
Schwab's Investment Income tool (Positions → Investment Income) is one of the better native dividend dashboards in the industry — visibly ahead of Vanguard's and slightly behind Fidelity's Income tab in usability. It shows historical income by month, breaks out interest vs. dividends, and offers a rolling 12-month projection based on your current positions and their declared per-share amounts. That's genuinely useful, and if you only have one Schwab account, it may be enough.
Where it falls short is anywhere the answer requires context outside Schwab:
- Cross-broker rollup. Schwab's projection assumes your Schwab holdings are your whole portfolio. If you also have a Fidelity IRA, a Vanguard 401(k), or Robinhood fractional shares, the picture is incomplete. MerryDiv reads all of them through the same Plaid connector.
- Historical dividend growth per position. Schwab shows what SCHD paid you last year — not what SCHD's dividend has grown at over the last 5 or 10 years. For dividend-growth investors, that trailing growth rate is the entire thesis, and it lives on the individual stock page, not the account summary.
- Yield on cost. Same gap Fidelity has: current yield only, not the yield your position is producing based on what you actually paid. Especially bad for legacy TD Ameritrade positions where you've held for a decade and the on-cost yield may be 8-10% while current yield is 3%.
SCHD rebalance and how MerryDiv reads it
SCHD reconstitutes its underlying index every March. Some quarters, the dollar distribution shifts meaningfully because the underlying holdings changed — this confuses tools that assume dividend payments follow a predictable per-share pattern. Schwab reports the actual declared distribution, and MerryDiv follows that. If a March SCHD payment is 10% higher or lower than December's, the app records it as-is rather than "correcting" it against a projected schedule.
The TD Ameritrade migration — data continuity
The 2023 TD Ameritrade → Schwab migration moved account histories with the accounts. In Schwab's own Investment Income tool the pre-migration TD payments show up as Schwab transactions with no visual break. MerryDiv reads them the same way. If you held O (Realty Income) in your TD account from 2019 through the migration, you'll see a continuous monthly-payment timeline back to 2019, not a break at the migration cutover. Cost basis carries over too — important for reporting long-term gains.

Tracking SCHD dividends specifically
SCHD is the most commonly held dividend ETF at Schwab — the fund is Schwab's own, expense ratio is 0.06%, and the dividend growth history is one of the strongest in the category. If SCHD is a core holding, the two things you want visibility on beyond the quarterly payment are (a) the March rebalance's effect on the distribution and (b) SCHD's trailing 3-year and 5-year dividend growth rate. MerryDiv's SCHD stock page shows both.
Does thinkorswim have a dividend tracker?
thinkorswim (now folded into Schwab post-migration) has a Transactions view that filters to dividend payments, but no dedicated dividend dashboard, no projection, and no growth history. Traders who liked ToS for options and charting typically use a separate tool for dividend income — that's where a Plaid-connected tracker like MerryDiv fits in. Your ToS positions sync through the same Schwab connection.
Dividend ETFs Schwab investors often track
Schwab's own ETF family has some of the lowest expense ratios in the industry (SCHD at 0.06%), commission-free at Schwab, and covers the main dividend-strategy variants. Five funds frequently discussed in dividend-investing communities:
| ETF | Yield | Payout | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCHD | 3.42% | Quarterly | Schwab's dividend-growth screen (quality + 10+ year payment history) |
| SCHY | 4.16% | Quarterly | International dividend-equity ETF (SCHD methodology, non-US) |
| SCHF | 3.02% | Semi-annual | Broad developed-market international ETF |
| JEPI | 7.85% | Monthly | Covered-call income ETF (distributions include option premium, not just qualified dividends) |
| JEPQ | 9.42% | Monthly | Nasdaq-adjacent covered-call ETF (higher yield, higher volatility exposure than JEPI) |
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.
Schwab dividend history — how far back does the export go?
Schwab's transaction history export supports the last 10 years, but the dividend detail is best from 2020 onward. Older TD Ameritrade transactions (pre-migration) are readable in Schwab's system going back further — Plaid exposes what Schwab shows, so if it's visible on Schwab.com's Investment Income tab it's importable to MerryDiv. For anything older than that, Schwab's annual 1099-DIV documents are the authoritative source.
