Anworth Announces 2017 Dividend Tax Information
Stockholders should check the tax statements they receive from brokerage firms to ensure that the Anworth dividend information reported in those statements conforms to the information reported herein. Furthermore, stockholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the taxes that should be paid on Anworth’s dividends.
As a REIT, Anworth’s dividends are generally not eligible for rate reductions enacted for certain types of dividend income under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Thus, the portion of Anworth’s dividends that are characterized as ordinary income generally will be taxed at full ordinary income rates. For stockholders that are corporations, Anworth’s dividends are not eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. Any dividend distribution, or portion thereof, that is carried over to 2018 will be eligible for a 20% deduction from gross income under the new tax law that is effective for 2018.
As each stockholder’s tax situation may be different and each dividend distribution may have its own separate tax status, the tables below provide the detailed tax information for each of Anworth’s dividends declared during our 2017 fiscal year:
