Is there a way to report earned dividends from stocks through this program?

Hello, greengoose13.

I'll point you to the right direction and help you record the dividends earned from stocks. 

Just a quick note, QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) is designed to record and report the income and expenses of an individual's business. The program also follows the Schedule C expense categories. That said, you can add and report the earned dividends in QBSE as an income.

Here's how: 

1. Go to the Transactions menu.
2. Hit the Add transactions button. 
3. Enter the total amount for the dividends earned under Amount.
4. Add a description for the transaction. You can enter something like "Dividends earned from stock" or similar. 
5. Click the Select a category link, then search for Income. 
6. Add a note if necessary.
7. Once done, click Save. 

Here's an example: 

If you connected a bank account, then you'll just want to categorize and approve the transaction straight away. You can also check these articles to help you record transactions:

Though, it would be best to consult an accountant or a tax adviser. They can give more ideas on how a dividend from stock is reported, and check the tax implications for this.
