Tax quest. No 1099 Div?

Janus says I don't get a 1099 Div this year for Janus Twenty Fund. What
gives?

Sounds strange, since they say the fund distributed dividends in 2004
(assuming that you held shares on the record date).


You should point this out to Janus.

You could also make a good faith effort on your taxes, by looking at the
number of shares you owned on the record date (i.e. just prior to the
dividend being distributed), multiplying that number by the dividends
per share reported on the page cited, and including that in your tax
return. One doesn't usually file 1099-DIV's with the IRS, so that may
cover you. Keep in mind this is not intended as tax advice, you should
consult your accountant/lawyer/adviser, etc.

Well, you can check your account statements. Did you have dividend
reinvested? If so did you gain more shares last year without
additional funds? Or, did you see any dividend distributions in your
account statements?

On my account web page with Janus the only Income Reinvest was done
12/17/2004 for a total of $3.58! I guess that answers it. I know I should
still list this with the return, even though Janus won't send out a 1099 if
it less than $10.
Funny thing is, the fund was up about 25% in 04!

So you'd have a lot of unrealized gains in the books.
