dividend payment. When counting the number of days the

Qualified REIT dividends. Certain taxpayers are entitled
to a deduction under section 199A computed by reference
to several types of income, including qualified REIT
dividends. A qualified REIT dividend is generally a
dividend from a REIT received during the tax year that is
not a capital gain dividend or a qualified dividend.
However, a qualified REIT dividend does not include any
REIT dividend received with respect to any share of REIT
stock that is held for 45 days or less during the 91-day
period beginning on the date that is 45 days before the
date on which such share became ex-dividend with
respect to the dividend. When counting the number of

which the recipient's risk of loss was diminished. In
addition, a qualified REIT dividend does not include any
dividend on shares of REIT stock to the extent the
recipient is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a
short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with
respect to positions in substantially similar or related
property.
Section 199A dividends. A RIC that receives qualified
REIT dividends in a tax year may generally pay section
199A dividends for that year, which certain shareholders
of the RIC that meet holding period requirements may
treat as qualified REIT dividends for purposes of section
199A. The amount of section 199A dividends that a RIC
may pay for a tax year is limited to the amount of qualified
REIT dividends includible in the RIC's taxable income for
the year, reduced by properly allocable deductions. See
Regulations section 1.199A-3(d) for other limits and rules,
including holding period requirements.
Dividend payment delayed until January. If a RIC or a
REIT declares a dividend in October, November, or
December payable to shareholders of record on a
specified date in such a month, the dividends are treated
as paid by the RIC or REIT and received by the recipients
on December 31 of such year as long as the dividends are
actually paid by the RIC or REIT during January of the
following year. Report the dividends on Form 1099-DIV for
the year preceding the January they are actually paid. See
sections 852(b)(7) and 857(b)(9) for RICs and REITs,
respectively.
If a dividend paid in January is subject to backup
withholding, withhold when the dividend is actually paid.
Therefore, backup withhold in January, deposit the
withholding when appropriate, and reflect it on Form 945,
Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax, for the
year withheld. However, because the dividend is
reportable on Form 1099-DIV for the prior year, the related
backup withholding is also reportable on the prior year
