Recently checks were mailed to former shareholders of Invesco funds.
If you are an eligible investor, you may have received a distribution payment from a Fair Fund established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
INVESTMENTS HELD IN A TAXABLE ACCOUNT
If the amount of this payment exceeds your tax basis in your investment, then the excess is includable in your income as capital gain. Any such capital gain is long-term capital gain, unless you disposed of your investment before holding it for longer than one year.
INVESTMENTS HELD IN IRAS OR TAX-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
- For Checks Payable to the Custodian but Mailed to the Investor
If you held some or all of your mutual fund shares through an IRA, in most cases the distribution check will have been made payable to your IRA custodian but mailed directly to you. You may choose to forward the check to your custodian with a letter of instruction. You should deposit the check in your IRA account. Caution: If the check is cashed or deposited in any account other than an account eligible to receive the check, it may be subject to a 10% penalty and taxed as ordinary income in the year of receipt.
YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THIS AS TAX ADVICE.
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT, INCLUDING THE
EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX RULES
AND THE EFFECT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN LAWS.
Additional information was mailed along with the payment and should be reviewed.
