I spoke to Fido last week, and they said the estimates on other funds would start coming out the first week in December.

I don't really spend much time looking at them (unless for some reason they are HUGE [ouch]. Always seems to be some corrections by tax time. I have done a pretty good job of estimating them and doing quarterly tax payments.

Paying close attention to distributions this year for ACA income cliff reasons.

Vanguard mutual fund Cap gains estimates are out today.

Unfortunately, the cap-gains distributions from my last two active funds (both from Vanguard) are in the same high ballpark as last year.

Dividend estimates don't come out till 12/10 or something like that.

VG Wellington gains estimate shows it dropping from $4.17 last year to $1.61 this year?

Just my luck it was really high for the years I was trying to get an ACA subsidy - throwing me off the cliff.

Can someone direct me to threads discussing how to manage taxable accounts? I haven't mastered searching the various forums.

May be time to move away from VWENX.
(My current income all comes from rental properties, a CRT and the VWENX dividends/gains)

^^^^ Most of Vanguard's index funds do not have capital gain distributions... we have VTSAX, VFIAX and VTIAX... Total Stock, 500 and Total International Stock... and no capital gains distributions in 2019 or 2018.

I looked up VTSAX. You might want to consider the amount of unrealized gains in the fund. They seem to realize losses... but not gains. I would think that gains will have to be realized.... likely when more are pulling money out.

just something to be aware of going forward.

pb4uski · 11-13-2019, 04:35 PM

Agreed, but a capital gain distribution is unlikely unless redemptions spiked dramatically.... and that seems unlikely.... meanwhile, the last time they made a capital gains distribution was in 2000... I'll take my chances.

Transferred my brokerage accounts to Schwab this year, haven't seen the 2019 estimated distributions list for their funds yet. Got an email from them yesterday stating they have added a new 'Investment Income Summary' feature to your online 'Accounts Summary' page. It shows ytd and estimated yearly earnings for each of your accounts and totals for all accounts combined. Nice feature, will find out soon enough how accurate it is.

Many Fidelity funds pay dividends only once a year, or twice a year with a smaller one in the spring and the bulk of it in December. We will still get the yet unknown dividend distribution even though the web page shows no capital gains distribution.

I'm still waiting and wondering on one of my Fido funds, a corporate bond fund. This bond fund has done some odd things at the end of the year in the 11 years I have been in it. The first few years, the December monthly dividend included a "spike" by which the dividend doubled. But it came by surprise, as there was no real warning it was going to happen. And once in a while, it had a cap gain distribution.

Then, for a few years, I had neither the spike nor any cap gain distributions. Then, last year, the spike returned but as a separate December distribution a ew days before the end of the year, and it appeared in Fido's year-end distribution webpage. So far, there has been nothing of any type of year-end distribution. This year, unlike prior years, it matters a lot because I am struggling to qualify for an ACA subsidy, so I don't want to get blindsided by a surprise spike on 12/31 with no time to do anything about it. In those older years, I was able to find out the daily mil rate and learn of the spike when it happened.
