*Changes to tax forms efective with the 2012 tax year
Average Cost Basis Statement
Historically, we have reported the cost basis of shares sold on the Average Cost Basis Statement. Beginning with the 2012 tax year, we will no longer provide you with this statement. Instead, the average cost basis for shares purchased prior to 1/1/12 will be reported to you directly on Form 1099-B. Please visit our Cost Basis Resource Center for more information on cost basis reporting,
Form 1099-INT
In previous years, we were required to report tax exempt dividend on Form 1099-INT. Beginning with the 2012 tax year, we are now required to report tax exempt dividends on Form 1099-DIV, therefore you will no longer receive a Form 1099-INT. Now all the distributions you receive from your mutual fund investments will be reported on Form 1099-DIV.`
