Stockholders will be notified of the proper tax characterization of Capstead dividends by way of IRS Form 1099-DIV following the close of each tax year. Capstead dividends received by corporate stockholders are not eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. If Capstead dividends are characterized as return of capital, stockholders should reduce the tax cost basis of their shares by the amount of return of capital distributions received.
