Investopedia explains 'Dividend Exclusion'

Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, individuals were also permitted to exclude a certain amount of dividends received from their taxable income. However, effective the following tax year (1987), this allowance was no longer permitted and individuals have since been taxed accordingly for dividend income received.
