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.

WeeklyPay funds use leveraged exposure; distribution composition can vary week to week. Review the fund’s 19a-1 notices for the ROC percentage of recent distributions.
