Some of the interactive worksheets request information is found on Form 1099-DIV. However, because corporations do not receive that form, you should refer to the American Funds Year-End Statement to find information such as income dividends, capital gain distributions and foreign tax paid, which are reported prior to any reclassifications to return of capital and exempt-interest dividends.
To determine “Ordinary dividends,” you will need to add the “Year-to-date: Dividends”, the “Short-term capital gains” amounts on the year-end statement, and add the amount of foreign interest adjustment (if any), and then subtract the amount of return of capital and exempt-interest dividends, if any (as reported below).
For investors in American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund®, American Funds Strategic Bond Fund and Capital World Bond Fund only:
A portion of the dividends you received (as reported under “Year-to-date: Dividends” and “Short-term capital gains” in the Activity Detail section of your year-end statement) was a return of capital. Refer to “Form 8937: Report of Organization Actions” for specific return of capital amounts in 2022.
Foreign interest adjustment:
The funds listed below reported a foreign interest adjustment in 2022 in accordance to IRS Notice 2016-10. To determine your foreign interest adjustment amount, apply the fund's foreign interest adjustment percentage to the sum of the "Foreign Tax Paid" transactions on your year-end statement.

For investors in American Funds that distribute tax-exempt income:
Except for American Funds Tax Aware Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio, all the income dividends on your year-end statement represent federally tax-exempt income dividends. For American Funds Tax Aware Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio, 53.09%, 53.99%, 59.93% and 53.93% of the dividends you received in March, June, September and December 2022, respectively, were exempt-interest dividends in 2022. To calculate the dividends you received, you can add together the income dividend, foreign tax paid, and short-term capital gain transactions as reported under the "Year-to-date transaction history" section of your year-end statement.
You can view or print year-end account statements online. You’ll need your company’s account number and password.
