About IQQQ

Tax Considerations

Distributions from options-income ETFs are often classified partly as return of capital (ROC), which reduces your cost basis rather than being taxed as ordinary income in the year received. The exact split is published in the fund’s 19a-1 notices and finalized on your 1099-DIV.
