I see you got some answers, but they are not totally correct. But I don't think you are talking about anything as complicated as getting into taxation rules which would consider investment income such as dividends and interest.

If you are just wondering about capital gains and losses from stock, options, gold, etc., the stuff we talk about here, then no, you can't offset such losses against your dividend income. But one thing to keep in mind is taking a deduction for any investment expenses, investment publications, trading tools and such. For example you could write off any margin interest expense you incurred and in calculating how much of that interest expense you can deduct the dividends received will come into play.
