• Why are there asterisks showing in my Taxpayer Identification Number?

  Fidelity is currently participating in an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) program that allows us to better protect your personal information. The program makes it possible for us to mask, or hide, portions of taxpayer identification numbers on tax forms 1099 and 5498. The program applies to both identifying numbers that take the form of 000-00-0000 (e.g., Social Security numbers, individual taxpayer identification numbers, or adoption taxpayer identification numbers) and 00-0000000 (e.g., Employer Identification Number). Pursuant to the terms of the IRS program, FIIOC has replaced the first five digits of these identifying numbers with asterisks (i.e., ***-**) on paper tax forms 1099 and 5498. Only the last four digits of your identifiers are displayed.

• Why didn't I receive a Form 5498?

  Form 5498 mails in May. You will receive a tax form 5498 in the mail if you made contributions to your IRA account for the reportable tax year.

• Fidelity.com offers a TurboTax discount. Can I get one through accounts.fidelity.com?

  Fidelity does not currently offer a TurboTax discount through accounts.fidelity.com, because Fidelity Advisor Fund data cannot be imported into the software. However, Fidelity Advisor clients may take advantage of the discount by going through fidelity.com to purchase TurboTax. Once you receive the software, you will have to enter your Fidelity Advisor Fund data manually.

• What are the holding requirements for qualified dividends?

  The general holding period rule for distributions of qualified dividends is that the taxpayer receiving a dividend on a security must hold the security unhedged for more than 61 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date in order for the dividend to be classified as qualified dividend income. This general rule, however, means that a holding requirement applies at both the mutual fund level and the shareholder level in the case of dividends from mutual funds.

  At the fund level, for a dividend to be treated as a qualified dividend eligible to be taxed at one of the preferential rates, the mutual fund must have held the dividend-paying stock unhedged for more than 61 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date. For the potentially qualified dividends on which Fidelity’s funds met their holding requirement, Fidelity will report each shareholder’s portion of that amount in column 1b (Qualified Dividends) of Form 1099-DIV. To treat such reported amounts as qualified dividend income, however, shareholders will need to determine if they have met their own holding requirements.

  A shareholder must have held the fund share on which he or she receives the dividend unhedged for more than 61 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date in order for the dividend to be classified as qualified dividend income. The ex-dividend date will be displayed as the "trade date" on shareholder account statements. Qualified dividend information, including ex-dividend dates, is also available at accounts.fidelity.com.

  To determine the holding period, begin counting on the day after the shares were purchased and count the number of days held, including the date sold. For certain preferred stocks, the holding requirements are stricter than the holding requirements described above. Consult your tax advisor for details.
