1 Guide To Your USAA Investment Management Company Understanding Your USAA Mutual Fund IRS Form 1099-B For Tax Year IRS Form 1099-B Proceeds from Brokers and Barter Exchange Transactions The amounts indicated in this section of your Tax Information Statement reflects proceeds and basisrelated information (when available) from security transactions such as sales, redemptions, tender offer, maturities, etc. What has changed on the USAA Mutual Fund IRS Form 1099-B? In the past, USAA provided one separate IRS Form 1099-B for each USAA mutual fund that had an IRS reportable redemption during the tax year. Due to IRS reporting changes outlined below, USAA will now provide one consolidated IRS Form 1099-B for all reportable mutual fund redemptions done in an account. In order to accommodate the increased reporting requirements, your IRS Form 1099-B will now be presented using a landscape view. New Reporting Rules Starting in 2011, new IRS reporting rules require brokers to report gross proceeds and basis related information for sales of certain securities acquired after 2010 to the taxpayer and to the IRS. The new reporting rules are staggered based on security-types, as follows: Jan. 1, for individual stocks Jan. 1, 2012 for mutual funds Jan. 1, 2014 for bonds, options and other securities Securities acquired on or after these effective dates are referred to as covered securities because they are covered under the new law mandating basis reporting. Securities acquired before the effective dates are referred to as noncovered securities and there is no IRS requirement for brokers to report basis-related information to the IRS for such securities. Trade Date versus Settlement Date We report sales of USAA Mutual Funds to the IRS, on a trade date basis, on IRS Form 1099-B. Accordingly, you should report transactions on a trade date basis. Explanation of Information Presented on IRS Form 1099-B for USAA Mutual Funds The IRS Form 1099B includes sections that include a summary page, income tax withheld and trading activity. Summary of Gains and Losses These amounts are for informational purposes. Cost basis totals include only amounts that were available to us. Refer to the appropriate detail pages for more information regarding your redemption activity. Income Tax Withheld from any redemption activity will be reflected here. Trading activity This section is broken up into four categories: (1 ) Category A short-term covered securities where basis is reported to the IRS. (2) Category B short-term noncovered securities where basis is NOT reported to the IRS. (3) Category D long-term covered securities where basis is reported to the IRS. (4) Category E long-term noncovered securities where basis is NOT reported to the IRS. This document is not legal, tax, or investment advice. Consult your tax and legal advisers regarding your specific situation. 1

2 Understanding Your IRS Form 1099-B Category A Short-term cost basis reported to the IRS Category B Short-term cost basis NOT reported to the IRS These are your noncovered security trades, representing securities that were purchased before 2012 and subsequently sold. USAA provides the cost basis information (if available) for noncovered transactions on IRS Form 1099-B for your information only. For noncovered securities, USAA will not report basis information to the IRS. This category is divided into two sections: one for positions with complete basis information and one for transactions with missing basis information. Complete basis information Missing basis information For some mutual fund transactions, where the date of acquisition is unknown or various, you should refer to your historical documents to determine if the transaction s holding period qualifies as long-term or short-term. 2

3 Understanding Your IRS Form 1099-B Category D Long-term cost basis reported to the IRS Category E Long-term cost basis NOT reported to the IRS These are your noncovered security trades, representing securities that were purchased before 2012 and subsequently sold. USAA provides the cost basis information (if available) for noncovered transactions on IRS Form 1099-B for your information only. For noncovered securities, USAA will not report basis information to the IRS. This category is divided into two sections: one for positions with complete basis information and one for transactions with missing basis information.

4 Understanding Your IRS Form 1099-B Each page includes a number of s displaying details related to each transaction. Date of Sale - Transactions are reported by trade date and each is reported separately to the IRS. Accordingly, you should report each transaction separately on your tax return to avoid a mismatch with the IRS. Quantity - This amount represents the number of shares sold. Proceeds - Gross proceeds of sale. Date of Acquisition - This represents the date you acquired the shares and is used to determine your holding period for the purpose of determining short-term or long-term classification. Investments that were held for more than a 12-month period qualify as long-term. Note: For mutual funds purchased before 2012, the only tax accounting method available with USAA is average cost. Please consult your tax advisor before using this or another permissible method. Gain or Loss - This represents the difference between the transactions proceeds and your cost or other basis. An exception to this rule occurs when the transaction was involved in a wash sale causing a loss deferral. Reporting your holding Period Date of Acquisition - This is used to determine your holding period for the purpose of determining short-term or long-term classification. Investments that were held for more than a 12-month period qualify as long-term. In the event your exact purchase date is not available, the 1099B will reflect: Various - The exact date of each purchase is not known, but basis information is available. You will need to use your statements to determine how many of the shares sold were held for more or less than one year. Unknown - USAA does not know the cost basis information on shares sold. You should refer to historical statements to determine cost basis information and if you cannot obtain the data needed, you should seek professional tax advice to determine how to report your cost basis information to the IRS. 4

5 IRS Form 8949 Beginning for tax year 201 1, trading activity is reported to the IRS using IRS Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets. Totals from this form are entered on the newly revised Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses. A separate version of IRS Form 8949 will need to be completed for the different transaction types: Reporting your trading activity Category A, short-term covered mutual funds where basis is reported to the IRS. Category B, short-term noncovered mutual funds where basis is NOT reported to the IRS. Category D, long-term covered mutual funds where basis is reported to the IRS. Category E, long-term noncovered mutual funds where basis is NOT reported to the IRS. To assist you with your tax preparation our 1099-B design includes a Supplemental Information section that presents a Summary of Gains and Losses summing up the totals of these four categories.

7 Reporting a Wash Sale A wash sale occurs when you sell an investment at a loss, and repurchase a substantially identical investment with a 61-day period that extends from 30 days before the sale until 30 days after the sale. Losses from wash sales are generally not deductible. Instead, the loss is added to the cost basis of the replacement shares. When a wash sale occurs, the net amount of your proceeds and cost basis figures will not equal the amount in the gain or loss in the amount of the disallowed loss.

8 Reporting a Wash Sale (con t.) The Average Cost Basis accounting method simply totals the cost basis of an entire position and divides it by the number of shares to determine an average cost per share. Average Cost Basis Historically, USAA maintained cost basis for mutual funds using the Average Cost Basis (ACB) accounting method. If you have previously sold shares and used another cost basis method on your tax return, then our records will be different from yours. You are still permitted to select an alternate method to average cost when filing your tax return. However, we will only display the average cost for noncovered shares. Reporting Cost Basis using Average Cost In General, the average cost method is only one of several methods available to determine gains and losses when you sell or exchange mutual fund shares. Before using the information for tax reporting purposes, consult your tax advisor to ensure that the average cost basis is appropriate given your specific tax situation. For additional information refer to IRS Publication 564, Mutual Fund Distributions. Gifted, Inherited or Other Transferred shares For shares received as a gift, inheritance, or other form of transfer, special basis determination rules, other than average cost of shares, will apply. IRS Publication 551, Basis of Assets, provides on how to calculate the basis of shares received. Please consult your tax advisor for assistance in calculating your basis in these situations. For more information regarding cost basis for mutual funds, visit usaa.com, keyword Cost Basis FAQ. For more information regarding your USAA Tax Documents, please visit usaa.com, keyword Tax Center or contact one of our Member Service Representatives at Questions regarding your specific tax situation should be directed to your tax and legal advisers. For assistance with Turbo Tax, please visit turbotax.intuit.com/support/contact. The contents of this document is not intended to be, and is not, legal or tax advice. The applicable tax law is complex, the penalties for non-compliance are severe, and the applicable tax law of your state may differ from federal tax law.
