TAX CENTER

In addition to your year-end statement, FAM Funds will provide you with a tax statement of your dividend and capital gains distributions on Form 1099 DIV for taxable accounts. Proceeds from a sale on a non-retirement or taxable account are reported on Form 1099-B. Proceeds from a sale on a retirement account are reported on Form 1099-R. You must report these proceeds on your taxes. We’re also required to provide copies of these forms to the IRS.
