Welcome to the Mutual Funds Resource Center
Mutual fund taxation
The mutual fund manager must send the investor a tax information
statement so the investor can declare
taxes. The investor must account for all capital gains or loses and
dividends even if the dividends and capital gains are reinvested into the
mutual fund. When mutual funds shares are sold/redeemed the mutual fund
manager should aid the investor in determining the purchase bases for the
shares sold/redeemed. Recent federal tax codes have modified the
treatment of dividends and capital gains depending on the investor's
income level and tax bracket.
