NON-QUALIFIED DIVIDENDS

NON-QUALIFIED DIVIDENDS In reviewing my Fidelity account details for dividend distributions I found 2 that were classified as Non-Qualified. Since they are very trivial amounts the most expeditious thing to do is to edit the Bivio entries to mark them as non-qualified. Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't see Ordinary Income as an option. So I'm assuming it would be short term capital gains depending as we held the stocks in question for less than 1 year. Is that correct? Thanks -----Happy New Year........Jay Edit them to non-qualified, bivio will get the tax classification correct.

I must be doing something wrong. YOU ARE CORRECT. I do not remember this being problem for the past two years when we converted the ordinary income for our back-up investment mutual fund as originally reported by TD Ameritrade to a combination of ordinary and qualified. It may be that you need to look at the Investment Info screen for your investment and change it from 100% qualified to not 100% qualified. It appeared to be glitchy and it took me a while to get it to work. I apologize that my response was not clear.

Thanks, but same results as before - no option for non-qualified dividend. Visit Accounting > Investments. Click "info" (to the far right) for the appropriate security. Select the "Not 100% Qualified" option. Click OK. Now when you edit a distribution transaction there will be a choice for "Ordinary Dividend". Or, you can wait until you take the tax interview which will allow you to address qualified vs. non-qualified status for distributions. aha........Certainly, intuitively obvious to the casual observer. thx On Fri, Dec 26, 2014 at 11:04 PM, James Thomas wrote: Or, you can wait until you Thanks, Jim. This is the correct answer. As with most tax-related accounting tasks, you are better off waiting until you have all your tax documents. For those of you who want more detail, read these answers from Laurie: For the rest of you, relax about your taxes until late February. Happy New Year! Cheers, Rob Thanks to James Thomas. I was just about to bug Laurie about the drop-down menu with no "orrdinary dividend" on it when I read his reply about this topic. This worked just as he said it would, and now I can print out my treasurer's report. |
