Distributions From and Dispositions of Sec. 1291 Fund Stock

If the holding period of the stock began but didn’t end in the current tax year, enter information in the 1st field and skip the rest of this data entry section. If the stock was disposed of during the tax year, skip Part V, lines 15b through 15e, and enter data for lines 15f and 16.
Total distributions from the section 1291 fund during the current tax year
This amount reports on Form 8621, Part V, line 15a. It also automatically reports on Schedule B, line 5, as ordinary dividends when you skip Form 8621 Part V lines 15b through 15e.
Total distributions made by the fund for up to 3 years preceding the current tax year
When you enter total distributions in this field, reduce it by the portions of such distributions that were excess distributions and not included in income.
Gain or loss from the disposition of stock of a section 1291 fund
Gains recognized on the disposition of stock of a section 1291 fund are treated as excess distributions. Stock of a section 1291 fund is considered disposed of if sold, transferred, or pledged.
Information for distributions and/or dispositions of stock of a section 1291 fund
If the excess distribution from Form 8621, Page 3, line 15e, is more than zero, it is allocated in this statement for inclusion in other income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040). The nonexcess distribution (lesser of line 15a or 15d) is included on Schedule B. A "Sec. 1291 Distribution/Disposition of Stock" statement prints.
Aggregate increase in tax for the holding period
To determine this amount (calculated for all years), multiply the part of the excess distribution allocated to each year in the holding period (other than the current tax year and any pre-PFIC years) by the highest tax rate in effect for that tax year under section 1 or 11 (whichever applies).
Excess distribution taxes for the holding period
Don’t include excess distribution taxes allocated to the current tax year or to pre-PFIC years. Excess distribution taxes are determined by apportioning total creditable foreign taxes (attributable to an excess distribution) between the part of the distribution that is an excess distribution and the part that is not.
Interest on aggregate increase in tax
To determine the interest, begin with the due date of the income tax return for the tax year to which an increase in tax is attributable; end with the due date of the income tax return for the excess distribution tax year. Consider due dates without regard to extensions. This reports in Other Taxes on Schedule 2 (Form 1040).
