2. What are qualified dividends as related to Form 1099-DIV?
Qualified dividends are dividends paid during the tax year from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. For individuals, estates, and trusts, qualified dividends are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Generally, the rate is zero for individuals whose other income is taxed at the 10% or 15% rate.
3. What are Form 1099-DIV's rules regarding dividends paid in January?
If a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) or a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) declares a dividend in October, November, or December payable to shareholders of record on a specified date, the dividends are treated as paid by the RIT or REIT and received by the recipients on December 31 of that year (as long as the dividends are actually paid during January the following year). Report the dividends on Form 1099-DIV for the year preceding the January they are actually paid.
If a dividend paid in January is subject to backup withholding, withhold when the the dividend is actually paid. Therefore, backup withhold in January, deposit withholding when appropriate, and reflect it for the year withheld on Form 945, Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax. Since the dividend is reportable on Form 1099-DIV for the prior year, the related backup withholding is also reportable on the prior year Form 1099-DIV.
See Sections 852(b)(7) and 857(b)(9) for more information for RICs and REITs, respectively.
