Short Statement: Form 1099-DIV is used by the Service to insure that dividends are properly reported as required by Code section 6042 and that liquidation distributions are correctly reported as required by Code section 6043, and to determine whether payees are correctly reporting their income. Correction made to reflect changes in the law. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 , section 1541, added new IRC section 853A, which allows Regulated Investment companys (RICs), to make an election to distribute tax credit bond credits to shareholders. For the reporting of the tax credit bond credits, we added boxes 10a and 10b to the form. We also added under the Instructions for Recipients, text for boxes 10a and 10b. Under IRC section 54A(h), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS), that hold qualified tax credit bonds distribute credits to shareholders more accurate filing figures. These changes resulted in a total burden increase of 3,357,664 hours.
