I want to download the annual dividends(regular,special and repurchaces) for all stocks at Nasdaq for 5 years. Does anyone know where can I find it? Thank you

The built in data does not seem go quite 5 years back, but you can access dividend data within Mathematica / WolframCloud as well:
FinancialData["NASDAQ:AAPL", "Dividend", {"Jan. 1, 2010,", "Nov. 4, 2015"}]
To get a list of all symbols on the NASDAQ:
list = FinancialData["NASDAQ:*", "Lookup"]
To get/organize data for several symbols on this list (first 5 shown for example):
Transpose[{Take[list,{1,5}],Table[FinancialData[list[[i]], "Dividend", {"Jan. 1, 2010,", "Nov. 4, 2015"}], {i,1, 5}]}]
While I do not subscribe to this particular database, I have used Quandl extensively for a variety of reasons and have paid for subscriptions. Zacks apparently has a fairly robust database of dividends, you might want to create an account on Quandl.com and try it. They do offer trials
