2023 Section 163(j) Interest Dividends
A fund that earns interest income may, in its discretion, designate all or a portion of ordinary dividends as Section 163(j) interest dividends, which would allow the recipient to treat the designated portion of such dividends as interest income for purposes of determining the business interest expense deduction limitation under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code.
To be eligible to treat a Section 163(j) interest dividend as interest income, you must have held the fund share for more than 180 days during the 361-day period beginning on the date which is 180 days before the date on which the share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend unless an exception applies (see Footnote 1 below).
To determine the amount qualifying as Section 163(j) interest dividends, multiply the "percent qualifying as Section 163(j) Interest Dividends" (shown in the table) by the amount of your total ordinary dividends. Please note that ordinary dividends of a fund include, if applicable, net short-term capital gains and foreign taxes paid.
