ii. long-term capital gains

iii. qualifying dividends

IV. non-qualifying dividends

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Among other things, the trade confirmation that Anna receives must stipulate the items described in Selections I and III only. The trade confirmation that Anna receives from GetErDone must stipulate the time and date of the transaction, the number of shares sold, and the price at which they were sold. The exchange or ECN on which the transaction was executed is not provided on the confirmation statement. Whether GetErDone acted as a principal or a broker in the transaction does need to be stipulated, but in this instance GetErDone acted as a broker, not a principal. GetErDone did not itself buy the shares from Anna.

Oh, I remember learning about this in my tax class. The answer has to be B, II and III only. Non-qualifying dividends don't get the same treatment.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends get preferential treatment, but I'm not sure about the other options.

I'm not sure about this. Can someone explain why short-term capital gains are not included in the preferential tax treatment?

I agree with Tyra. Long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends qualify for preferential tax treatment.
