Some 402 members of the index are now making payouts to shareholders.

Dividend payments this year are expected to hit a record $275 billion, well above the previous record $248 billion in 2008.

However, the good times for those seeking dividend income are at serious risk.

As Sillverblatt notes: "Under current legislation, taxes on dividends to individuals will almost triple in 2013, rising to 43.4% from 15%. From a planning perspective, this will force corporations to reexamine their return to shareholders policy, potentially pulling back on dividend increases and increasing share buybacks. From an individual investor's prospective, the risk-return ratio shifts significantly since you would now be keeping less than 57 cents on the dollar compared to the current 85 cents."
