Helpful Reminders
- You will not receive a Form 1099-DIV if you have taxable ordinary dividends for any fund totaling $10 or less. You must still include these dividends on your income tax return. The dividends are shown in the "Income and Capital Gains Summary" section of your 2018 year-end investor statement mailed in early January.
- IRS Form 5498 and 5498-ESA (which reports the Fair Market Value of contributions made to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) through April 15, 2019 for the 2018 tax year) will be mailed by May 31, 2019 and April 31, 2019 respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Fair Market Value of these accounts was noted on your year-end investor statement.

Capital Gain Distributions
Throughout the year, mutual funds realize gains and losses from selling securities held in their portfolios. Mutual funds are required to distribute the net realized gains from these sales to shareholders each year. Distributions of capital gains were declared to shareholders of record and distributed with the year-end ordinary dividends on the dates noted below.
The year-end distributions of capital gains are as follows:

Actual amounts are based on gains and losses realized by the funds through October 31.
Distribution of Ordinary Income Dividends
When mutual funds earn interest or dividends from securities held in their portfolios, it subtracts fund expenses and passes this “ordinary income” on to shareholders. Shareholders are notified on Form 1099-DIV (mailed in late January) of the actual amounts of any capital gains or ordinary income dividend distributions.
