Distributions

You'll need to know the character of your distributions to prepare your taxes. Income distributions are income you received as a result of a regular fund distribution paid from fund earnings. Capital gains distributions are paid to shareholders of a fund out of the capital gains from the sale of the holdings in the fund's portfolio. Qualified dividends are dividends that are taxed at a lower rate of 0%, 15%, or 20% (or 23.8% including the Medicare tax), depending on your taxable income and filing status, rather than the higher marginal rates applicable to ordinary income.

Income you earn from your mutual funds and closed-end funds may be taxed by the IRS. These links will take you to information about income, capital gains and qualified dividends issued by your funds.
