Non Dividend Distribution とは

投稿日： 2020/03/10

米国の証券会社で資金を運用されている方の申告を請け負いますが、幾つか気を付けなければならないポイントがあります。

Non-Dividend Distribution ですが、Dividend(配当)として表示されてますが、出資金額の元金部分の払い戻し(資本金の払い戻し)ですので、原則として、配当所得とはなりません。

A nondividend distribution is a distribution that isn’t paid out of the earnings and profits of a corporation or a mutual fund. You should receive a Form 1099-DIV or other statement showing the nondividend distribution. On Form 1099-DIV, a nondividend distribution will be shown in box 3. If you don’t receive such a statement, you report the distribution as an ordinary dividend.

A nondividend distribution reduces the basis of your stock. It isn’t taxed until your basis in the stock is fully recovered. This nontaxable portion is also called a return of capital; it is a return of your investment in the stock of the company. If you buy stock in a corporation in different lots at different times, and you cannot definitely identify the shares subject to the nondividend distribution, reduce the basis of your earliest purchases first.

When the basis of your stock has been reduced to zero, report any additional nondividend distribution you receive as a capital gain. Whether you report it as a long-term or short-term capital gain depends on how long you have held the stock. See Holding Period in chapter 14.

Example. (p64)

You bought stock in 2005 for $100. In 2008, you received a nondividend distribution of $80. You didn’t include this amount in your income, but you reduced the basis of your stock to $20. You received a nondividend distribution of $30 in 2018. The first $20 of this amount reduced your basis to zero. You report the other $10 as a long-term capital gain for 2018. You must report as a long-term capital gain any nondividend distribution you receive on this stock in later years.
