2008 Foreign Taxes Paid
Mutual Funds may elect to pass through a foreign tax credit to their shareholders when they invest in foreign securities. This permits shareholders to take a deduction from gross income or a federal income tax credit for foreign taxes paid by the fund, at the shareholders option. Your share of foreign taxes paid by the fund is shown in Box 6 of Form 1099-DIV. You may receive a pass through of foreign tax credit where no actual cash is distributed to you. This occurs when the fund has paid foreign taxes on your behalf but does not otherwise have income to distribute. In this case you report the foreign tax credit amount as income and use the foreign tax credit to reduce taxes paid against your other income. Please consult the Calamos web site for more information.
The tables below summarize the information you will need to calculate your foreign tax credit if you are not exempt from calculating that credit on a country-by-country basis.
