Tax Considerations for High-Yield ETFs

Return of Capital (ROC)

  • YieldMax ETFs often include ROC in distributions
  • ROC reduces your cost basis (not immediately taxable)
  • Final ROC amounts available in year-end tax documents

Income Planning

  • Consider holding in tax-advantaged accounts when possible
  • High distribution frequency may complicate tax planning
  • Consult tax professionals for personalized advice
