How ETNA saves you hours on tax reports?
On April 15th, every investor faces the task of filing tax returns for their investment earnings. Accurate data is crucial for a smooth tax filing process. Etna platform can help you streamline this task and save valuable time. Before we dive in, let’s explore the different types of taxes you might encounter.
Investment taxes
Capital gains tax. This tax impacts investors annually on profits from asset sales such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and collectibles. Rates are based on holding period, favoring lower rates for long-term investments. Higher income leads to higher CGT rates. Capital gains income is reported on the 1099-B form.
Dividend tax. Investors encounter Dividend Tax on company earnings distributed to shareholders, comprising Non-Qualified and Qualified Dividends. Non-Qualified Dividends are subject to standard income tax rates, whereas Qualified Dividends face lower rates akin to long-term capital gains. Non-Qualified Dividends are reported in Box 1 of the 1099-DIV form, while Qualified Dividends are listed in Box 1b.
Interest tax. This tax affects investors on interest income from investments like savings accounts, bonds, and certificates of deposit. It is levied annually at the investor’s standard income tax rate, with implications varying based on their tax bracket and total interest earned. Reported on the 1099-INT form.
