COMPASS DIVERSIFIED 2021 CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
YOUR 2021 FORM 1099-DIV MAY BE INCORRECT.
Taxed as Partnership (January 1, 2021 through August 31,2021) - cash distributions paid are treated as partnership distributions. Shareholders report the amounts shown on their Final Form K1.
Taxed as a Corporation (September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021) - cash distributions paid were classified and reported as a return of capital and not dividend income or capital gain.
Therefore, if your 2021 Form 1099-DIV shows an amount in Box 1a and / or 2a, the form is incorrect.
Brokers should not have reported cash distributions, related to your Compass ownership, on Form 1099-DIV as dividend income or capital gain.
If you believe your 2021 Form 1099-DIV was issued erroneously, please contact your broker.
