Are you looking to bolster your income portfolio with some new dividend stocks this month?

If you are, you may want to look at the two listed below that have been forecast to provide attractive yields. Here's what you need to know about these buy-rated ASX 200 dividend stocks:

National Australia Bank Ltd (ASX: NAB)

The first ASX 200 dividend stock that has been named as a buy is big four bank, NAB.

Goldman Sachs is positive on the bank in the current environment. This is due to NAB's exposure to commercial lending and its belief that "volume momentum over the next 12 months as favouring commercial volumes over housing volumes."

In respect to dividends, the broker is expecting this to underpin fully franked dividends of $1.68 per share in FY 2023 and FY 2024. Based on the current NAB share price of $28.84, this implies yields of 5.8% in both years.

Goldman Sachs has a buy rating and $33.06 price target on its shares.

Stockland Corporation Ltd (ASX: SGP)

Another ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a buy is Stockland. It is a residential and land lease developer and retail, logistics, and office real estate property manager.

Citi is a fan of the company and recently named it as its top pick in the sector. The broker believes the market is being too negative on Stockland and doesn't expect property prices to fall as much as feared.

Its analysts are also forecasting some big dividend yields in the near term. Citi expects dividends per share of 27 cents in FY 2023 and FY 2024. Based on the current Stockland share price of $4.45, this will mean sizeable yields of 6.1% in both financial years.

The broker currently has a buy rating and $4.70 price target on its shares.
