The Problem

When you purchase securities that distribute dividends or capital gains, the first payments you receive represent your own money being returned to you, not taxable income. Unfortunately, for hundreds of millions of people, these payments are unjustly taxed. Wall Street calls this problem "buying a dividend," draining an estimated $236+ billion from investors like you every year. This oversight isn't just an error—it's a massive financial drain on your net worth and financial well-being.

Industry Indifference:
Losses Deemed Acceptable

Industry leaders admit that billions in investor funds are lost annually due to this preventable and disclosable problem. Yet, some claim these losses are "perfectly fine," arguing that the lack of investor awareness justifies their inaction. This response reveals a troubling lack of concern for your legal investor rights. This problem can and should be fixed.

Your Legal Rights are Being Ignored 

Financial services companies have a high legal duty, known as fiduciary duty, to act in the best interest of investors. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, this duty mandates that advisers place their clients' interests above their own (15 U.S.C. § 80b-6). Additionally, companies must provide comprehensive and accurate risk disclosures that are not misleading, as stipulated by the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. § 77q). Moreover, the Internal Revenue Code mandates that tax returns submitted to the IRS be accurate and complete (26 U.S.C. § 7206) - failure to do so is a felony. These legal statutes ensure transparency and trust in the financial markets.

Can This Problem be Fixed?

Yes, commercially available software exists that can resolve these issues with a simple upload and the press of a button. Unfortunately, for the past five years, these straightforward solutions have been ignored, with the industry collectively working hard to ensure they are never implemented.
