Foreign Taxes on Dividends Incorrectly Documented by Our Broker

Foreign Taxes on Dividends Incorrectly Documented by Our Broker We currently use eTrade as our broker and supplier of transactions to the Bivio feed. We own two foreign stocks that pay regular dividends and the information supplied by eTrade is not complete enough for Bivio to process what we need to match our 1099 at the end of the year without manual intervention. When we get dividend transactions that have foreign taxes paid eTrade provides a Dividend Net Amount that has foreign taxes paid and any fees removed but only provides foreign taxes and fees in text description form. At tax time our dividend amount for our foreign stocks do not match the broker's 1099. We can work around it by making manual adjustments (assuming the information is on the broker's monthly statement) but it makes the treasurer's job just a bit more difficult than it needs to be. So my question - if you get foreign taxes in dividends does your broker provide the information that Bivio needs to provide accuracy? Changing brokers is no fun but does your club's broker provide detailed foreign dividend that Bivio can use? Would appreciate any help. |
