Taxable Dividends

Cash distributions (i.e., dividends) paid by a corporation to its shareholders on account of their stock ownership in the company are typically considered taxable to the shareholder to the extent paid out of the company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Earnings and profits are generally considered as the measure for determining a company’s economic ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.

Return of Capital

Any portion of a cash distribution made by a corporation on account of its shares that exceeds the corporation’s current or accumulated earnings and profits is considered a return of capital to the shareholder. This portion is merely a return of a previous amount that was contributed, and it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in shares held in the company. A return of capital distribution may be considered nontaxable to the shareholder to the extent the shareholder has sufficient tax basis in the shares. Final return of capital and taxable dividend amounts will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV each tax year.
