Additional mutual fund shares bought with dividend money? |
I am not sure how to report the shares that were bought with dividend money. yes, the 2 shares are in the 1099-div, but when I sold them, they worth more. should I include them on schedule D? Report exactly what is on the 1099's. That is what was reported to the IRS. Those two extra shares should already be included in the 1099. The reinvested dividends are taxable as ordinary income unless they're qualified dividends where they'd be treated as long-term capital gains. Whether dividends are paid to you or are reinvested doesn't matter, they are taxable when paid to you or on your behalf. The year that you got the 2 additional shares, you'd have gotten a 1099-DIV from the mutual fund company showing the amount of the dividend, and you'd have paid taxes on it then. When you sell the stock, you'd report the sale of all the shares, but your basis would be what you paid for the ofiginal ones PLUS the dividend amount that you paid the taxes on. If all this happened in the same year, the answer is the same - report the 1099-DIV amount on your return as dividends, then report what you paid for the original shares plus the dividend amount as your basis. |
