Does the one year rule also apply to dividend shar

Does the one year rule also apply to dividend shares...ie, that if you sell any of the divi shares prior to holding for a full year, they become income rather than capital gains?

I have assumed that is the case (I wasn't planning on selling any anyway - I want to see how this plays out over the next 2 - 3 years) but maybe they are treated differently than shares purchased outright. I guess....you should see your tax professional for information about your specific case.

Now where have I recently heard that?
