Doesn't matter. Tax law says that certain mutual fund
distributions declared in Year X but paid in Year X+1 are
nevertheless taxable income for Year X. You need to report
them on your 2004 return.

Yes.

No.

First, does the additional income increase your income tax?
If not, ignore it.

If it increases your tax, then amend your 2004 tax return.

A mutual fund is allowed to declare a dividend in December
and pay it in January, and consider it part of its income
distribution for 2004. It has to distribute substantially
all of its income to avoid paying taxes itself.

File an amended return for 2004. Stock market index funds
are one of several types of entities that can make taxable
distributions after the end of the tax year. This dividend
is reportable in 2004.

Default Dividends paid in 2005, on corrected 1099

I received my 2004 1099 for dividends from my brokerage
(late I might add) and filed my 1040. Now, my brokerage has
issued a corrected 1099.

I tracked down the difference and apparently VTI paid
dividends on 12/27/2004. This was credited to my account on
1/6/2005. I am a cash-basis tax payer. Should I:

1) File an amended return with including the dividends
received in 2005
or
2) Include the dividends on my 2005 return since that
is when I received them
