2012 Tax Information for T. Rowe Price Taxable Funds
Dividends-Received Deduction (for corporations only)

Corporate taxpayers generally are entitled to a deduction for dividends received from another domestic corporation. To determine the amount of dividends qualifying for this deduction, multiply the "percent qualifying for deduction" (shown in the table) by the amount of your total ordinary dividends. Please note that ordinary dividends of a mutual fund includes, if applicable, net short-term capital gains and foreign taxes paid.

Note that you may not take this deduction for a dividend on shares of a fund that have been held for less than 46 days during the 91-day period beginning on the date 45 days before the ex-dividend date. You may find your fund's ex-dividend date here.
