Is the stock dividends that a company receives income that needs to be reported and where should I include it in the income statement?

If you refer to the dividends that a company receives from another company, then yes it is income and it usually included in the other income line.

The stock dividends that are paid by a company are not income though and are paid out of the reserves.
