Form CG-719s (Small Vessel Sea Service) 2017-2022

Frequently asked questions What is the purpose of Form CG-719/L (Form CG-719/L) for reporting a dividend on a dividend eligible stock? Dividends that occur on a dividend eligible stock are generally reportable on Form CG-719/L. In order to be reportable on the Form CG-719/L, the dividend must be a qualifying dividend. For more information about reporting dividends on a dividend eligible stock, see Pub. 550, General Instruction I. If you are electing the DTC to allow dividends on a dividend eligible stock you are required to attach a filing and payment statement (Form CG-719 or Form CG-719-EZ) to the Form 8886-B (which you'll receive when the dividend is received). See “Dividend on Restricted Stock” below. Note: The Form CG-719 is for reporting dividends on the dividend eligible stock. Not all investors who hold the stock are eligible to report dividend income. When would the Form CG-719 or Form CG-719-EZ be filed? If the taxpayer received the dividend within 30 days of the date of the transaction, as shown on the original Form CG-719 or Form CG-719-EZ (excluding extensions), the Form CG-719 would be filed with the taxpayer's tax return. If the dividend occurred after 30 days of the original Form CG-719 or Form CG-719-EZ (excluding extensions), the Form CG-719 would be filed with the investor's federal individual income tax return on Form 1040 or its equivalent, if applicable. If there is a change in ownership, then any amendment to the Form CG-719 must be attached to the Form 8886-B (which is a filing and payment statement) to be properly filed for reportable income. If a dividend is held for a tax-exempt organization, the Form CG-719 file should be completed for the period the organization held shares of the dividend-eligible stock. In the normal transaction, the reporting date would be the original date of the Form CG-719 or Form CG-719-EZ.
