FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...................................................79 Nonretirement Product Tax Information What’s New for 2013 nonRetirement Products Phased Mailing Schedule for 2013 Client Tax Reporting Ensuring your clients receive their tax forms as early as possible—with accurate information—is vital to providing exceptional service. As a result, we are pleased to announce a phased mailing approach for IRS Form 1099 (B, DIV, INT, OID and MISC) tax statements for the 2013 tax year. Pershing will evaluate each account and whether we have received final tax information for each security. We expect the new method will significantly accelerate the issuance of original 1099 forms and reduce the incidence of publishing revised forms. Importantly, it will provide greater transparency in the tax reporting process for both you and your clients. The phased mailing schedule is outlined below. In addition, please refer to the Tax Season Overview communication (search key word “taxinfo” in NetX360®) for more information about the e-Document Suite™ 1099 posting schedule. Mailing Phase Mailing Event Phase 1: January 31 Form 1099 Mailing Form 1099 mailing will occur by January 31 for accounts with no income reclassifications pending from issuers. Generally, this includes accounts holding simple debt or equity-only investments and options1. 1099 drafts will be available via e-Document Suite for accounts pending final reporting. The securities pending 1099 reporting will be provided in the “waiting for data” section within the 1099 draft. The drafts will be available to entitled advisors and will not be mailed to or viewable by your clients via NetXInvestor™. Phase 2: February 182 Form 1099 Mailing Form 1099 mailing will occur by February 18 for accounts for which we can include previously pending income reclassifications from issuers of mutual funds (regulated investment companies [RICs] and exchange-traded funds [ETFs] treated as RICs), certain unit investment trusts (UITs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and certain equities, because the issuer or trustee has provided Pershing final tax information. Generally, this includes accounts holding mutual funds with high incidences of reclassification1. Pending 1099 Notice Mailing A pending 1099 Item for Attention (IFA) will be populated, alerting you of the Pending 1099 Notice (see the sample image on page 4) mailing for accounts for which we are awaiting data from issuers. The notice will list investments that are awaiting information from issuers or trustees and indicate the possible mail date of clients’ 1099s. This notice, which will be available in e-Document Suite, will be mailed (even if enrolled in electronic delivery [e-delivery]) when issuers of taxable income are unable to provide final tax information before February 18. This letter will identify the income impacting the mail date. Phase One 1099 drafts will be replaced with the most current 1099 draft information. The securities pending 1099 reporting will be provided in the “waiting for data” section within the 1099 draft. The drafts will be available to entitled advisors and will not be mailed to or viewable by your clients via NetXInvestor. Revision Mailing for 1099s Sent in Phase One - We will add the 1099 Draft IFA by Wednesday, February 12. - We will add the 1099 Revisions IFA by Friday, February 14.

The securities pending 1099 reporting will be provided in the “waiting for data” section within a current 1099 draft available in e-Document Suite.

Phase 4: March 173 Form 1099 Mailing Form 1099 mailing will occur by March 17 for all remaining accounts, regardless of whether pending income reclassifications for the account’s income have been received from issuers.

Revision mailing for 1099s sent in all previous phases will be delivered by Friday, March 14. 1 Holding only these types of securities does not guarantee that your clients’ tax statements will be mailed on the indicated date. 2 Pershing’s annual practice is to request and obtain an extension from the IRS for the February 15 date on which we are required to mail IRS Forms 1099 (B, DIV, INT, OID and MISC). In anticipation of obtaining this extension—and since February 15, 2014, falls on a Saturday and the President’s Day holiday is observed on Monday, February 17—this phase of the mailing will occur by February 18. 3 ershing’s 30-day extension to the mailing requirement will accommodate this phase of the mailing. Since March 15 falls on a weekend, the mailing will occur on the next business day P or March 17. 2013 PendIng 1099 noTIce Account Number: 123-456789 As of 02/18/2014 PAYER INFORMATION: Your Financial Advisor Is: Name and Address: PENDING 1099 Recipient’s NOTICE rOBerT ‘CONTACT’ ADVISOr 1234 STreeT has not yet been received for We will alert your clients by February 18 when certain reporting information JOHN Q.

Please note the following information for Pershing’s 2013 IRS Forms 1099 (B, DIV, INT, OID and MISC): Your form 1099 will be delivered as early as possible, beginning January 31, 2014. By February 18, you will receive either your 1099 form or a special Pending 1099 Notice. The Pending 1099 Notice will be sent if issuers of securities you hold have not yet provided their final tax information. It will inform you of the securities that are pending final reporting, and will provide the anticipated mail date of your 1099 form. Your 1099 will be mailed no later than March 17, 2014. • N ew Table of Contents page—For tax statements that are nine pages or longer, we added a Table of Contents page to help with navigation to 1099s and tax statement sections. ew Advisory Fees Detail section—We added the transactional • N details of each individual fee that was charged to clients for the year in the Advisory Fees Detail section. • 1 099-B re-sort and separation of reportable and nonreportable information section—The 1099-B summary section now only displays reportable amounts. We more clearly separate and disclose reportable and nonreportable proceeds and cost basis information in the various summary and detail sections. The following message will be included in January. Important Reminder for Pershing’s 2013 IRS Forms 1099 (B, DIV, INT, OID and MISC): As a reminder, by February 18, you will receive either your 1099 form or a special Pending 1099 Notice. The Pending 1099 Notice will be sent if issuers of securities you hold have not yet provided their final tax information. It will inform you of the securities that are pending final reporting, and will provide the anticipated mail date of your 1099 form. Your 1099 will be mailed no later than March 17, 2014. • 1 099-B instructions section—Instruction text has been reduced to streamline the statement, while still providing valuable information. Certain information has been moved to our Tax Guide and mytaxhandbook.com. • 1 099-DIV section—We added the CUSIP® to the 1099-DIV section. This additional information helps with research and review of dividend information. > NETX360 Enhancements > REVISION PROCESS • I tems for Attention (IFA)—During the phased mailing, we will add a 1099 Draft IFA, which will be populated with drafts during each revision cycle. You will be prompted to review the revision drafts prior to mailing and can make an election to not mail the revisions during that cycle if an issue is discovered. Previously, this information was provided within the Revised 1099 IFA. The Revised 1099 IFA will now only display your mailed revisions. Please refer to page 4 for more information. The first revision mailing for Form 1099 is planned for February 18, as indicated on the mailing schedule on pages 3 and 4. By this date, we plan to mail the first batch of revisions—which will report changes to any tax statements mailed by January 31. Revisions will then occur by February 28 and by March 17 to report corrections to tax statements mailed in any of the previous mailings. After March 17, revisions will be sent weekly. Reviewing and Holding Revised Statements You can view drafts of revised tax statements within e-Document Suite the Monday prior to their mailing and have the opportunity to review the accuracy of recent cost basis adjustments, as well as other sensitive transactions. If additional adjustments are pending, users can hold a revised tax statement mailing through TXAS-Tax Reporting System/TEFRA (available in OpsCenter via NetX360) until the next scheduled production print. This feature could prevent multiple revisions being mailed to your clients. Refer to the task reference called “Request a Delay of a Revised Tax Statement (TXAS)” for more information. We are also introducing the Pending 1099 IFA. It will be populated by February 18 for accounts that receive the special Pending 1099 Notice and for which tax statements were not mailed by February 18. We will populate this IFA a second time by February 28, reducing it to only the accounts that have not received tax statements by the end of February. • T ax Statement Mailings Reports—A report is scheduled to be available to help you track the various mailings, providing information on the type of tax statement, how it was mailed and how many accounts are waiting for data. The report will also allow you to track how many initial and revised 1099s were mailed in the various mailing phases. We will provide high-level reasons for revisions and how many accounts received one or multiple revised tax statements. We will also create an accountlevel report to provide you with lists of accounts and specific reasons for each of the mailings. Hold requests must be submitted by 8 p.m. (ET)/1 a.m. (GMT) on February 25 for the February 28 mailing and March 11 for the March 17 mailing. When the weekly revision process begins, hold requests must be submitted by 8 p.m. (ET)/1 a.m. (GMT) on Tuesdays. Requests for Corrections As a reminder, all 1099 correction requests should be submitted via the correct path in Service Center: -Form 1099-B cost basis inquiries: Other Products/Misc > Tax Reporting > Cost Basis Reporting -All other Form 1099 tax statement correction requests: Other Products/Misc > Tax Reporting > Tax Information Statement 5 Nonretirement Product Tax Information What’s New for 2013 nonRetirement Products Cost Basis Reporting >DEFAULT DEBT ELECTION CHANGES AS OF JANUARY 1, 2014 In 2013, cost basis regulations remain in effect for stocks and mutual fund shares. In addition, your clients are required to provide the cost basis (including all gain and/or loss information) for all covered (reportable) and noncovered investments disposed of by sale, exchange or redemption in their tax filing for the tax year in which the disposition occurs. Election Description Bond Premium (per U.S. Treasury regulations §1.171 and §1.171-4) This election allows an investor to amortize the premium on taxable bonds and apply the premium as an offset to interest income. The IRS instructed financial organizations to assume the investor has made this election. An investor can choose not to make this election and take the interest income at time of disposal. For debt instruments, there are four taxpayer elections on how to treat market premium and discount specified by the IRS that can be used to properly set up your clients’ accounts. The following methods can be used either as a select or default disposition method. Please review the full list below: Securities are generally considered covered under the cost basis rules if they are acquired on or after their applicable January 1 effective date, and noncovered if they are acquired before their covered effective date. Please note the following IRS timetable for cost basis reporting: • January 1, 2011—Stock in a corporation • J anuary 1, 2012—Mutual fund shares, including eligible DRP shares and ETFs that are treated like mutual funds Current Inclusion This election allows an investor to report accrued (per U.S. Treasury market discount annually as income and allows regulation §1278[b]) the financial organization to adjust the cost basis for the accruals. The default is to not report the market discount income annually. • January 1, 2014—Simple debt instruments (bonds) and options • J anuary 1, 2016—More complex debt instruments, including bonds with more than one rate, convertible bonds, stripped bonds or stripped coupons, payment-in-kind (PIK) bonds, foreign debt, foreign currency debt, some private issues and physical certificates Constant Yield (per U.S. Treasury regulation §1276 [b][2]) Please note: Transfer statement reporting for simple debt and options is delayed to 2015. Transfer statement reporting for more complex Original Issue debt, including, but not limited to, REMICs, WHFITs and UITs, is Discount (OID) delayed until 2017. (per U.S. Treasury regulation §1.1272-3) >IMPORTANCE OF EARLY PLANNING—REVIEW BOND ELECTIONS WITH YOUR CLIENTS BEFORE 2014 TAX SEASON This election allows an investor to use the constant yield method when calculating accruals. The default is to calculate market discount accruals using the ratable or straight line method. This is an election to include in gross income all interest that accrues on taxable bonds by using the constant yield method. The default is that the taxpayer has not made this election. Also, if an investor elects OID, then an investor is also electing current inclusion and constant yield for discount bonds and to amortize taxable bond premiums. Beginning January 1, 2014, the new tax rules require financial organizations to report the original or adjusted purchase price (cost basis) to investors and the IRS when debt instruments deemed simple (e.g., bonds, where a yield can be easily calculated) > ENCOURAGE CLIENTS TO VISIT MYTAXHANDBOOK.COM and options are sold, exchanged or redeemed.

This box does not include proceeds from regulated futures contracts or foreign currency forward contracts. Please see the Instructions for Form 8949 for exceptions to reporting each transaction on a separate row. The Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions section of the Tax Information Statement provides all of the following information. To view the illustration, please see the next page. 1.Proceeds from broker and barter exchange transactions are reported on IRS Form 1099-B-Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions. These transactions include sales, exchanges, redemptions, tender offers and maturities. Each transaction in this section is reported to the IRS. 8.Cost or Other Basis (Box 3): This box shows the original cost or adjusted cost basis due to a corporate action or acquisition by inheritance or a gift. The IRS provides a detailed description of cost or other basis reporting in the 2013 Instructions for Form 1099-B, which you can find at irs.gov. For additional information about cost basis and its use during your tax preparation, please refer to IRS instructions for Schedule D and Form 8949, IRS Publication 550 (Investment Income and Expenses) and IRS Publication 551 (Basis of Assets). 2.Covered securities transactions will be grouped and sorted by the security CUSIP within the following two subsections: –Short-Term Transactions for Which Basis Is Reported to the IRS— Report on Form 8949, Part I, with Box A checked: Covered (Box 6b) 9.Adjustments: This column may display the following: –Long-Term Transactions for Which Basis Is Reported to the IRS— Report on Form 8949, Part II, with Box D checked: Covered (Box 6b) W = Wash Sale Loss Disallowed (Box 5). An adjustment code (W) will be displayed next to an amount for a disallowed wash sale loss within the Adjustments column. This loss is being reported as disallowed because the sale of the covered security has been treated as a broker wash sale. This occurs when your client re-purchases the identical security, as determined by CUSIP number, in the same account within the 30-day period preceding or following the date of the original loss. The wash sale loss is reported as a positive amount as required by the IRS. For additional information about wash sales, please refer to 2013 Instructions for Schedule D (and Form 8949) and IRS Publication 550 (Investment Income and Expenses). 3.For the TYES, noncovered securities transactions will be grouped and sorted by the security CUSIP within the following subsections: –Short-Term Transactions for Which Basis Is Not Reported to the IRS—Report on Form 8949, Part I, with Box B checked: Noncovered (Box 6a) –Long-Term Transactions for Which Basis Is Not Reported to the IRS—Report on Form 8949, Part II, with Box E checked: Noncovered (Box 6a) –Transactions for Which Basis Is Not Reported to the IRS and for Which Short- or Long-Term Determination Is Unknown (to Broker)—Your client must determine short or long term based on your records and report on Form 8949, Part I, with Box B checked, or on Form 8949, Part II, with Box E checked, as appropriate: Noncovered (Box 6a) O = Option Premium. When stock is sold based upon the assignment of either a put or a call option the proceeds of that sale are adjusted by the price of the option or the option premium. The proceeds amount is increased by the option premium received or decreased by the option premium paid. An adjustment code (O) will be displayed next to the amount for an option premium within the Adjustment column. Please note: The YTIS will display only the Transactions for Which Basis Is Not Reported to the IRS and for Which Shortor Long-Term Determination is Unknown (to Broker) for noncovered securities transactions. For additional information about wash sales and option premium, please see 2013 Instructions for Schedule D (and Form 8949) and IRS Publication 550 (Investment Income and Expenses). 4.Quantity (Box 1e): The number of shares included in the sale or exchange for the lot reported. If fractional shares are part of the disposition, those shares will be displayed to three decimal places. 10.Realized Gain or (Loss): The realized gain or loss for the transaction may be displayed. Note that the IRS does not require the reporting of this information on the Form 1099-B. This information is only provided if your firm subscribes to our premium TYES. 5.Date of Acquisition (Box 1b): This box represents the date your client acquired the security or, for short sales, the date your client opened the short sale. You may see the word “Various” displayed in this column if the disposition transaction includes multiple lots with various acquisition dates. 11.Short sales are indicated with “Short Sale” displayed in the Disposition Transaction section. Please see page 35 for more information. 6.Date of Sale or Exchange (Box 1a): This box shows the trade date of the sale or exchange. For short sales, the date shown is the date your client closed the short sale. 12.Sale Date Total: If your client has multiple lots with the same sale or exchange date, he or she may see a line item with “Sale Date Total” noted in the “Disposition Transaction” column. The totals provided in this line item are an aggregate of the lots listed above the total line when the security and sale or exchange date are the same. For these totals the word “Various” will be displayed in the “Date of Acquisition” column, since the total includes multiple lots with different acquisition dates. These total amounts are included to help your clients complete IRS Form 8949. 7.Gross Proceeds—Less Commissions and Option Premiums (Box 2a): Gross proceeds from transactions involving stocks, bonds and other debt obligations are reported in Box 2a.

See the instructions to Form 8949 for exceptions to reporting each transaction separately in a row. Cost basis information will be provided for covered securities transactions. These transactions should be itemized in Part I of Form 8949 for short-term transactions and in Part II of Form 8949 for long-term transactions. Taxpayers should determine the cost or other basis for each transaction reflected on Form 8949 and Schedule D from their records for both covered and noncovered transactions. The sample statement on page 18 illustrates how this information is reported on the Tax Information Statement, and the sample tax form, also on page 18, illustrates how to report the information on tax returns. See the Instructions for Form 8949 for exceptions to reporting each transaction on a separate row. IRS Form 8949 and IRS Form 1040, Schedule D The IRS requires filers of Form 1099-B to sort the information within specific categories to assist your clients with the preparation of their tax returns. The Pershing substitute 1099-B may have up to six separate sections. Please review the following, which summarizes this important information: –Short-term and long-term transactions are segregated in your clients’ 1099-B in a format comparable to IRS Form 8949, for dispositions of covered securities. –Noncovered securities transactions will also be displayed separately from covered securities transactions, and boxes 1b, 1c, 3 and 5 will be left blank.* –The 1099-B format will simplify your clients’ process of recording or transcribing each transaction from the 1099-B to IRS Form 8949. * If your firm subscribes to our premium Tax and Year-End Statement, the date of acquisition, cost or other basis, type of gain or loss (long term or short term), and whether any loss is disallowed due to a wash sale for both covered and noncovered securities transactions, will be displayed when available. Please note: Such details for noncovered transactions are not reported to the IRS. Below is a list of the six Form 1099-B sections and the corresponding information for Form 8949: Form 1099-B Section Corresponding Form 8949 Part and Box 1.

A market order is an order to buy or sell an investment immediately at the best available current price and does not include a “forward contract” or a regulated futures contract. In the foreign currency market, delivery is typically made on a market order within two business days and is a nonreportable “spot contract” for tax purposes to distinguish it from a “forward contract.” A purchase or sale of foreign currency that requires delivery or settlement on a date that is more than two business days from the date of the contract, or is set at a price that is other than the current market price, should not be a market order transaction and is reportable as a “forward contract.” Accordingly, this section reports only foreign currency forward contract activity for 2013. 2013 Form 1099-B 9 10.Combined Totals for Regulated Futures and Foreign Currency Forward Contracts—If your client has reportable activity for both a Regulated Futures and Foreign Currency Forward Contracts, your client will receive combined totals above for boxes 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Brokers are not required to file with the IRS returns of information (on Forms 1099-B) with respect to a sale of foreign currency pursuant to a market order. A market order is an order to buy or sell an investment immediately at the best available current price and does not include a “forward contract” or a regulated futures contract. In the foreign currency market, delivery is typically made on a market order within two business days and is a nonreportable “spot contract” for tax purposes to distinguish it from a “forward contract.” A purchase or sale of foreign currency which requires delivery or settlement on a date that is more than two business days from the date of the contract, or is set at a price that is other than the current market price, should not be a market order transaction and is reportable as a “forward contract.” Accordingly, this section reports only foreign currency forward contract activity for 2013. Please refer to the sample on page 20. –The Profit or (Loss) Realized in 2013 subsection displays contracts settled or closed in 2013 on IRS Form 1099-B (Box 9). –Transactions are listed in CUSIP sequence. CUSIPs are displayed below security descriptions. –The expiration date and strike price are displayed in the Expiration Date/Strike Price column. –The Unrealized Profit or (Loss) on Open Contracts—12/31/2012 subsection provides the details of all contracts open at the end of 2012. Open contracts are marked to market as of December 31, 2012, to determine unrealized profit or (loss). We report this information to the IRS on IRS Form 1099-B (Box 10). –The Unrealized Profit or (Loss) on Open Contracts—12/31/2013 subsection provides the details of contracts open at the end of 2013. Open contracts are marked to market as of December 31, 2013, to determine unrealized profit or (loss). We report this information to the IRS on IRS Form 1099-B (Box 11). –The Aggregate Profit or (Loss) (Box 12) equals the Realized Profit or Loss adjusted for the Unrealized Profit or Loss at December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. Aggregate Profit or Loss is calculated as follows: {Profit or (Loss) Realized in 2013 (Box 9)} – {Unrealized Profit or (Loss) on Open Contracts – 12/31/2012} + {Unrealized Profit or (Loss) on Open Contracts – 12/31/2013} 36 Nonretirement Product Tax Information irs form 1099-div—dividends and distributions The following types of dividends and distributions are reported to the IRS: >ORDINARY DIVIDENDS >SPECIFIED PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND INTEREST DIVIDENDS – From mutual funds (including ETFs treated as RICs), REITs and UITs and from both U.S. and foreign corporations This section lists exempt-interest dividends paid by an RIC on specified private activity bonds to the extent that the dividends are attributable to interest on the bonds received by the RIC minus an allocable share of the expenses. – Paid on money market and bond funds Please note: Tax Information Statements include income earned on money market funds for which Pershing LLC is the payer of income. When income from money market funds is not reported on the Tax Information Statements, the fund company issues a separate IRS Form 1099. >STATE TAX WITHHELD This section lists state income tax withholding; the rates vary by state. >IMPORTANT POINTS –Dividend income from equities is generally reported when paid. – From short-term capital gains paid by mutual funds (including tax-exempt mutual funds) –Your clients may receive a revised Tax Information Statement from us if they owned one or more mutual funds (including ETFs treated as RICs), REITs, UITs or WHFITs. Each year, these companies frequently reclassify their distributions for tax purposes based on their year-end calculations. Reclassifications may be announced after initial Tax Information Statements are mailed. If we do not receive income reclassifications, the distributions will be classified as nonqualified dividends. Pershing will include two asterisks (**) beside income listed in the Form 1099-DIV section to indicate that we have not received information from the corresponding investment company, and there is a possibility that the Tax Information Statement will be revised. – The fair market value of the securities paid as taxable stock dividends >QUALIFIED DIVIDENDS This section lists the portion of ordinary dividends from Box 1a that are eligible for the 20%, 15% or 0% capital gains rate. Certain conditions apply for these reduced tax rates. Your client should contact a tax professional for assistance. >TOTAL CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS This section lists long-term capital gain distributions paid by mutual funds and REITs. The classification of certain dividend income may be reported as Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain, Section 1202 Gain or Collectibles (28%) Gain.

SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR OWNERS OF MUTUAL FUNDS, UITs, WHFITs, WHMTs AND REITs Your clients’ Tax Information Statement may display the following message, if we have not received final reallocation information by the completion of the phased mailing: >FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHELD This section lists federal income tax withheld, which is 28% of dividends and distributions. Income and interest declared on these investments in October, November or December 2013 are considered received on December 31, 2013, even if the income and interest were not actually paid until January (in the case of RICs [or mutual funds] and REITs) or February (in the case of WHFITs and WHMTs) 2014. Accordingly, these amounts are reported on your 2013 IRS Form 1099. >INVESTMENT EXPENSES Your clients may deduct investment expenses, subject to the 2% limit, as “other expenses” on Form 1040, Schedule A. Their share of UIT, WHFIT and WHMT expenses is also reported in the Investment Expenses column. >FOREIGN TAX PAID Supplemental information regarding the percentages of taxexempt income on municipal funds by state and the percentage of government agency, direct federal and foreign source for funds will be available by March 1, 2014, via mytaxhandbook.com. This section lists foreign tax paid, which includes foreign tax withheld from foreign source dividends. >LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTIONS This section lists distribution of cash or securities paid in connection with a corporation’s or a liquidating trust’s complete or partial liquidation. >EXEMPT-INTEREST DIVIDENDS This section lists exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other RIC. 37 Nonretirement Product Tax Information irs form 1099-int—interest income The following types of interest income and tax items are reported to the IRS: >INTEREST INCOME >IMPORTANT POINTS –Interest income from U.S. corporate bonds, taxable municipal bonds and certain REMIC or CDO interest –Interest on U.S. savings bonds and Treasury obligations is exempt from state and local taxes. However, each state’s tax laws vary; your clients should consult their state taxing authorities or tax professionals. –Interest income from U.S. government agencies (for instance, Government National Mortgage Association and Federal National Mortgage Association) –Interest income from U.S. Treasury bills purchased and redeemed through Pershing is reported on IRS Form 1099-INT. If the Treasury bill was not purchased through Pershing, or if the purchase price was not made available to us, we use the rate shown in IRS Publication 1212 (this rate is an estimated amount). Your clients may need to adjust the reported amount in this situation. –Interest income from foreign bonds –Credit interest income (total of credit interest earned on cash balances) –Interest on short-term discount obligations –Accrued interest income received on bonds and notes is reported on a settlement-date basis. Amounts representing accrued interest sold are identified with the symbol “*” on your clients’ statements. Accrued interest purchased between interest payment dates is not included on IRS Form 1099-INT. We report accrued interest purchased in the Securities Purchased section of the tax statement.

Foreign tax withheld (paid) from foreign source interest income was credited to your clients’ accounts in 2013. >TAX-EXEMPT INTEREST This represents interest on tax-exempt and specified private activity bonds. >RETURN OF PRINCIPAL AND NONQUALIFIED STATED INTEREST Generally, a return of principal distribution on a bond is not reportable as taxable, but the distribution reduces the tax basis of your client’s bond. Nonqualified stated interest reflects periodic payments on contingent debt securities. If the nonqualified interest paid was greater than the amount projected by the issuer, the excess will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT. Please note: For 2013 tax reporting, exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other RIC are no longer reported on Form 1099-INT. Those amounts will now be reported on Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions. >STATE TAX WITHHELD This section lists state income tax withholding; the rates vary by state. Special Message for Owners of Mutual Funds, UITs, WHFITs, WHMTs and REITs Your clients’ Tax Information Statement may display the following message, if we have not received final reallocation information by the completion of the phased mailing: Income and dividends declared on these investments in October, November or December 2013 is considered received on December 31, 2013, even if the income and dividends was not actually paid until January (in the case of RICs [or mutual funds] and REITs) or February (in the case of WHFITs and WHMTs) 2014.

These amounts were allocated to an account pursuant to IRS regulations and represent amounts that were credited as a result of a transfer of securities for use in a short sale. Pershing is authorized to loan a client’s shares for use in a short sale when the shares are held in a margin account with an outstanding margin debt. Clients should report substitute payments as “other income” for tax purposes.

Pershing is required by law to provide partner information directly to the partnerships. Fixed Income -Sales, maturities and redemptions for short-term discount debt instruments like U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper and government agencies are displayed in this section.

If the projected payment announced by the issuer is less than the amount projected by the issuer, the difference is reflected as a shortfall. Currency Transactions -Exchanges of foreign currency for USD and exchanges of foreign currency for a different foreign currency are displayed in this section. If the exchange is a forward contract, information related to that exchange is reported on Form 1099-B.

Pershing will evaluate each account and whether we have received final tax information for each security. We expect the new method will significantly accelerate the issuance of original 1099 forms and reduce the incidence of publishing revised forms. Importantly, it will provide greater transparency in the tax reporting process for both you and your clients. The phased mailing schedule is outlined below. Mailing Phase Scheduled Date Mailing Event 1 January 31 1.Form 1099 mailing will occur for accounts with no income reclassifications pending from issuers. Generally, this includes accounts holding simple debt or equity-only investments and options1. 2 February 182 1.Form 1099 mailing will occur for accounts for which we are able to include previously pending income reclassifications from issuers of mutual funds, certain UITs, REITs and certain equities, because the issuer or trustee has provided Pershing final tax information. Generally, this includes accounts holding mutual funds with high incidences of reclassification1. 2.Pending 1099 Notice mailing for accounts for which we are awaiting data from issuers. The Notice will list investments that are awaiting information from issuers or trustees and indicate the possible mail date of 1099 forms. This notice, which will be available in e-Document Suite, will be mailed when issuers of taxable income are unable to provide final tax information before February 18. This letter will identify the income impacting the mail date. 3.Revision mailing for 1099s sent in Phase One, as required. 3 February 28 1.Form 1099 mailing will occur for accounts for which we are now able to include previously pending income reclassifications from issuers of mutual funds, REITs and certain equities, because the issuer or trustee has provided Pershing with final tax information. Generally, this includes accounts holding mutual funds with high incidences of reclassification1. 2.Revision mailing for 1099s sent in Phases One and Two, as required. 4 March 173 1.Form 1099 mailing will occur for all remaining accounts, regardless of whether pending income reclassifications for the account’s income have been received from issuers Generally, this includes accounts holding complex nonequity securities, such as REITs, certain equities, UITs, REMICs, WHFITs and royalty trusts. 2.Revision mailing for 1099s sent in all previous phases, as required. 1 his information is provided for illustrative purposes only. Holding only these types of securities does not guarantee that your clients’ tax statements will be mailed on the T indicated date. 2 ershing’s annual practice is to request and obtain an extension from the IRS to the February 15 date on which we are required to mail IRS Forms 1099 (B, DIV, INT, P OID and MISC). In anticipation of obtaining this extension—and since February 15, 2014, falls on a Saturday and the Presidents’ Day holiday is observed on Monday, February 17—this phase of the mailing will occur on February 18. 3 Pershing’s 30-day extension to the mailing requirement will accommodate this phase of the mailing. Since March 15 falls on a weekend, the mailing will occur on the next business day. Please note: If cost basis information is adjusted for covered securities transactions, it may result in a revised Tax Information Statement since, typically, the 1099-B form will be updated. If cost basis information is adjusted for noncovered securities transactions, a revised tax statement will typically not be produced. If your client would like to receive a new statement inclusive of cost basis adjustments for noncovered transactions, you should request a duplicate statement. The request should be made after the update is made to the account. See page 54 for how to request a duplicate statement. As information becomes available to us subsequent to the initial Tax Information Statement phased mailing, we process this information and provide a revised Tax Information Statement to your clients. Tax Information Statements may be revised for any of the following reasons: – Reclassified income – Changed foreign tax withholding –Adjusted income paid – Cancelled trades or “as of” trades appear on tax statements –Updated OID rates – Changed TIN –Adjusted cost basis information for a covered security transaction 41 Nonretirement Product Tax Information reclassified income It may be necessary to reclassify previously reported distributions to another category, since the tax status of payments made by corporations, mutual funds, UITs, WHFITs and REITs can only be determined after the end of the tax year. Some of these companies, funds and trusts may not furnish their classifications before we mail the Tax Information Statements to your clients. As a result, we may issue revised Tax Information Statements to clients who received distributions from one or more of these companies, if the information is received after initial tax statements are mailed. Typically, reclassifications involve the following categories: –Ordinary dividends* – Qualified dividends* – Capital gain distributions* • Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain* • Section 1202 Gain* • Collectibles (28%) Gain* –Nondividend distributions* –Liquidation distributions* – Tax-exempt income from specified private activity bonds – Tax-exempt interest >IMPORTANT POINTS When reclassification information is made available, revised Tax Information Statements may be printed to reflect the corrected reporting amounts. The Revised Tax Summary precedes the revised Tax Information Statement and details all reclassifications, additions, deletions and changes. Reclassifications will be processed and mailed based on the schedule of deadlines and actions found within Pershing’s tax calendar, “Tax Reporting— Important Dates.” The calendar is available through the Tax Reporting Tools and Resources portal in Resources via NetX360 (search key word “tax-info”). Please note: The Tax Information Statement revision schedule is subject to change. Pershing may need to adjust the revision schedule based on the timing of tax information received from mutual funds and REITs. * Refer to page 37 >UIT AND WHFIT REPORTING Income from UITs and WHFITs will be reported based on information from the UIT administrators. This is necessary to distinguish the various types of income that a UIT and WHFIT could generate, such as interest income, tax-exempt income, income from specified private activity bonds, qualified dividend income, nonqualified dividend income or OID. Your clients who own UITs and WHFITs will see the following information on their Tax Information Statements: –Foreign tax rates on RIC’s foreign source income are generally received after the initial mailing. As this information becomes available, it will be forwarded to your clients. –We engage an external vendor to collect income reclassification information for RICs. By obtaining this information in a timely manner, we can greatly reduce the number of revised Tax Information Statements processed. –Income Classification: Income from UITs and WHFITs will be reported in one or more of the Form 1099-DIV, 1099-INT or OID sections of the Tax Information Statement, depending on the nature of the income. –If you know of companies that reclassify their income after yearend, provide us with a copy of the information on the company’s letterhead. All reportable accounts holding that position will be updated. –Accrual-Based Reporting: Income will be reported on the Tax Information Statement as it is earned by the UITs and WHFITs, which may differ from the date the UIT and WHFIT distribute the income. In the 1099-DIV and 1099-INT sections, separate entries will be displayed for income that is received in cash and for accrued income. –Revision information is updated in TXAS after the revisions are processed and may be accessed using the Tax Report Inquiry screen in NetX360 (see page 53 for additional information). –Revised Tax Information Statements, including the revised tax summary statement page, are also uploaded to e-Document Suite in NetX360 after processing. Copies of individual account holder statements may be obtained from this system. – Additional Data: Tax Information Statements will show “Investment Expenses” and “Foreign Tax Paid” as separate categories when the UIT and WHFIT administrator includes this data in the information provided to us. –You can access Report Center to view a list of accounts being revised. 42 Nonretirement Product Tax Information correcting tax information statements Service Center Requests >IMPROPER TAX INFORMATION STATEMENTS All 1099 correction requests (current and two prior tax years) should be submitted via the correct path in Service Center on the NetX360 platform.

A list of the exemption criteria is provided in the Instructions to IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification. The most common types of accounts exempt from IRS Form 1099 tax reporting are listed below. –Corporations (C and S corporations) that are financial organizations (for example, a bank or broker-dealer) generally can designate themselves as exempt recipients by completing Form W-9 and completing the “Exempt payee” line, although additional documentation may be required –Qualified retirement accounts (including IRAs and Roth IRAs) –Qualifying charitable organizations –Foreign accounts (provided a valid IRS Form W-8 BEN, W-8 ECI, W-8 EXP, W-8 IMY or W-8CE is on file) –Most federal, state and local government accounts Please note: S corporations that have provided a Form W-9 and checked the “exempt” box can expect to be issued a 1099-B form that only includes reporting and tax withholding related to the disposition of covered securities. No other 1099 information reporting will be sent for these accounts (e.g., 1099-DIV, INT, OID, MISC and 1099-B representing noncovered sales). S corporations that have provided a Form W-9 and did not check the “exempt” box, or were determined to be an S corporation by default by not returning a Form W-9, can expect to be issued a complete 1099, including all of their reportable income. Pershing no longer requests that your firm submit IRS forms W-9 and W-8 when making certain changes to an account’s registration. Instead, the Change in Account Registration Form is available for your use. Requests by your firm for certain account changes must be accompanied by this form. FeDeral tax WithholDing (baCKup WithholDing) >BACKUP WITHHOLDING DEFINED >CLAIMING BACKUP WITHHOLDING Backup withholding is a federal tax that we are required to withhold from certain reportable payments. Backup withholding applies to payments made that are reportable on IRS Form 1099B, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC or 1099-OID, and is reported as Federal Tax Withheld in the applicable section of the Tax Information Statement. –U.S. citizens (and residents for tax purposes) should claim backup withholding as tax payment on their federal income tax returns. –Foreign clients may claim backup withholding on IRS Form 1040-NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return, or IRS Form 1120-F, U.S. Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation. –Tax-exempt entities and corporations may claim backup withholding on either IRS Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return, which is used by tax-exempt organizations. Backup withholding applies to reportable payments if: –Your client fails to provide a valid TIN. –Your client fails to certify a TIN on an IRS Form W-9 for accounts opened after December 31, 1983. –The IRS mandates backup withholding due to an incorrect match between the client name and TIN provided. This IRS notification is referred to as a “B” Notice. –The IRS mandates backup withholding because of underreported interest or dividends on tax returns. This IRS notification is referred to as a “C” Notice. 45 Please note: During 2014, the federal backup withholding tax rate remains at 28% and will continue to apply to reportable payments of dividends, interest and proceeds from the sales of securities made to undocumented U.S. taxable accounts. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 did not affect the backup tax withholding rate. Nonretirement Product Tax Information FeDeral tax WithholDing (baCKup WithholDing) REASON FOR WITHHOLDING HOW TO STOP WITHHOLDING Client has not provided his or her TIN or has not certified his or her TIN If your client failed to provide a valid TIN, failed to certify his or her TIN by providing a Form W-9 or was issued a first “B” Notice and did not provide a Form W-9 showing the correct name and TIN, then he or she should complete IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification. Then, have someone at your firm certify the form on Pershing’s Documentation, Recording and Tracking (KUST) system. (Only U.S. firms may certify TINs in this manner.) “B” Notice—Notification from the IRS of name or TIN mismatch If your client was issued a second “B” Notice, did not request a printout from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and did not provide a copy to you, then he or she should contact the SSA to request the printout and provide it to your firm. Samples of the First “B” Notice letter, the Second “B” Notice letter, a blank W9BN form, IRS Form W-9 Instructions and the IRS “B” Notice can be located in Marketing Center in NetX360 using the keyword search phrase “IRS B-Notices.” Please note: If the pre-completed W9BN form is lost, please make sure your client completes a blank W9BN form (not IRS Form W-9). Only the W9BN form will be accepted to discontinue the mandatory withholding. The completed W9BN form must be signed and dated by your client and returned to Pershing. “C” Notice—Notification from the IRS stating that we must withhold tax from interest and dividends because the IRS determined that an individual underreported interest and dividends on the tax return If the IRS notified Pershing that your client underreported interest or dividend income and was subject to the IRS “C” Notice, ask your client to have the IRS send Pershing a stop letter to discontinue backup withholding.

See the Instructions for Form 1040 or 1040A. IRAs. For distributions from a traditional individual retirement arrangement (IRA), simplified employee pension (SEP), or savings incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE), generally the payer is not required to compute the taxable amount. See the Form 1040 or 1040A instructions to determine the taxable amount. If you are at least age 70½, you must take minimum distributions from your IRA (other than a Roth IRA). If you do not, you may be subject to a 50% excise tax on the amount that should have been distributed. See Pub. 590 for more information on IRAs. Roth IRAs. For distributions from a Roth IRA, generally the payer is not required to compute the taxable amount. You must compute any taxable amount on Form 8606. An amount shown in box 2a may be taxable earnings on an excess contribution. Loans treated as distributions. If you borrow money from a qualified plan, section 403(b) plan, or governmental section 457(b) plan, you may have to treat the loan as a distribution and include all or part of the amount borrowed in your income.

Report the amount on Form 1040 or 1040A on the line for "IRA distributions" or "Pensions and annuities" (or the line for "Taxable amount"), and on Form 8606, as applicable. However, if this is a lump-sum distribution, see Form 4972. If you have not reached minimum retirement age, report your disability payments on the line for "Wages, salaries, tips, etc." on your tax return. Also report on that line permissible withdrawals from eligible automatic contribution arrangements and corrective distributions of excess deferrals, excess contributions, or excess aggregate contributions except if you are self-employed. If a life insurance, annuity, qualified long-term care, or endowment contract was transferred tax free to another trustee or contract issuer, an amount will be shown in this box and Code 6 will be shown in box 7.

See instructions for Form 1040 or Form 104A for more information. Box 2b. If the first box is checked, the payer was unable to determine the taxable amount, and box 2a should be blank, except for an IRA. It is your responsibility to determine the taxable amount. If the second box is checked, the distribution was a total distribution that closed out your account. Box 3.

The following additional note will appear at the bottom of the note section: “This form contains revised information to correct reporting previously provided for your account for tax year 2013.” Instructions for Recipient Sample instructions Recipient’s identification number. For your protection, this form may show only the last four digits of your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), or adoption tax identification number (ATIN).However, the issuer has reported your complete identification number to the IRS and, where applicable, to state and/or local governments.

Shows the gross distribution (including in-kind distributions) paid to you this year from a qualified tuition program (QTP), under section 529, or a Coverdell ESA (CESA), under section 530. This amount is the total of the amounts shown in box 2 and box 3. See Pub. 970 for more information. Caution: For CESA distributions (other than earnings on excess contributions) made during 2013, the payer/trustee is not required to report amounts in boxes 2 and 3. Instead, the payer/trustee may report the fair market value of the CESA as of December 31, 2013, in the blank box below boxes 5 and 6. To figure your earnings and basis, use the Coverdell ESA Taxable Distributions and Basis worksheet in Pub. 970. Box 2. Shows the earnings part of the gross distribution shown in box 1.

Under a QTP, the amount in box 2 is included in income if there has been (a) more than one transfer or rollover within any 12-month period with respect to the same beneficiary, or (b) a change in the designated beneficiary and the new designated beneficiary is not a family member. Under a CESA, the amount in box 2 is included in income if there has been a change in the designated beneficiary and the new designated beneficiary is not a family member or is over age 30 (except for beneficiaries with special needs). Also, an additional 10% tax may apply to part or all of any amount included in income from the CESA or QTP. See Form 5329 and your tax return instructions for more information. If a final (total) distribution is made from your account and you have not recovered your contributions, see Pub. 970 to determine if you have a deductible loss and how to claim it. Box 3. Shows your basis in the gross distribution reported in box 1. Box 4. This box is checked if a trustee-to-trustee transfer was made from one QTP to another QTP, from one CESA to another CESA, or from a CESA to a QTP. However, in certain transfers from a CESA, the box will be blank. Box 5. Shows whether the gross distribution was from a QTP (private or state) or from a CESA. Box 6. The designated beneficiary is the individual named in the document creating the trust or custodial account to receive the benefit of the funds in the account. Distribution codes.

See Pub. 970 for more information. 65 retirement Product Tax Information 529 Plan Tax Information Reporting on IRS Form 1099-Q A 529 plan is a qualified tuition program and account arrangement that is described in Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. The type of 529 plan accounts custodied by Pershing is a savings plan where the account owner (participant) contributes for the benefit of an eligible college bound individual (beneficiary). The plan and account earnings generally accumulate tax free as long as the contributions and earnings remain in the plan and are ultimately used to pay qualifying educational expenses. Qualified plan and account distributions generally are received free from federal income tax and state income tax in certain states and may include expenses for tuition, book, supplies, room and board at any accredited post secondary educational institutions. 529 plans are offered by states with varying rules dictated by state legislation and are typically, but not always, administered by a single investment (mutual fund) management company directly and offered by that investment management company and/or by licensed securities brokers. Sample STATEMENT For 2013, Pershing is required to report distributions from 529 plans on IRS Form 1099-Q (Payments From Qualified Education Programs ([Under Sections 529 and 530]). The Form 1099-Q will be mailed to recipients by January 31, 2014. Please refer to the image below to view the 2013 Form 1099-Q. Pershing expects to report the information included on recipients’ copies of Form 1099-Q to the IRS by April 30, 2014. 1 3 For 2013, the Form 1099-Q will be issued under the applicable State 529 Plan’s Federal or EIN as the payer of the income. The Form 1099-Q reports all distributions in their component parts, which includes the amount of the Gross distribution (Box 1) and the portions of the Gross distribution that consist of Earnings (Box 2) and Basis (Box 3)—see below for a further explanation of the Form 1099-Q boxes. Losses or negative earnings are only reported if the 529 plan account is closed by December 31, 2013. If a 529 plan account has a loss or negative earnings on a distribution made in 2013 but the account was not closed by year-end 2013, zero earnings will be reported and the amounts of basis and gross distribution reported will be equal to each other. If a participant/beneficiary has accounts with multiple 529 plan providers (other custoding firms or directly with the sponsoring state or fund), all 529 plan accounts must be closed before any losses or negative earnings may be reported. In this case, Pershing will continue to receive the external basis and market value information from the master aggregator for the 529 plan. This means there are still open accounts for the participant/beneficiary. Therefore, Pershing will not report losses or negative earnings. 4 2 5 6 Refer to the Sample Form above for detailed information on the sections. 1.The amount reported in Box 1 shows the Gross Distribution paid. 2.The amount reported in Box 2 shows the Gross Distribution less any amount used to pay for qualified education expenses, transfers to another trustee or rolled to another qualified education program in 60 days. 3.The amount reported in Box 3 shows the basis in the Gross Distribution paid in Box 1. The Basis is the total amount contributed to the 529 plan. The amount reported in Box 3 will equal the amount reported in Box 1 minus the amount reported in Box 2. 4.If Box 4 is checked, then a distribution has been made directly from one Qualified Tuition Program to another Qualified Tuition Program. 5.All 2013 Forms 1099-Q issued by Pershing will report the State Qualified Tuition Program. 6.Box 6 will be checked if the recipient of the distribution is not the designated beneficiary under the Qualified Tuition Program.

To obtain copies of the forms, go to Tax Documents in e-Document Suite via NetX360. Enter the account number, tax year and tax statement type to view the form. Pershing may need to use the standard IRS form for certain corrections. If the standard IRS form is used, you will be notified and a copy of the form for the account will be available in Online Documents in NetX360. 70 retirement Product Tax Information IRS Form 1099-R Name/TIN Mismatch Notices >IRS Notification If a different name and TIN combination is provided on the W9BN form, then there will be a mandatory 10% withholding on previously established standing distribution instructions until a new withholding election is received by Pershing. Pershing’s withholding election is part of the Distribution Form, so the account holder simply needs to complete and provide a new distribution form to Pershing. The IRS may notify Pershing when a name and TIN combination on our 1099-Rs does not match the records of the Social Security Administration or the IRS. This notification is typically received in August or September each year and pertains to forms filed for the tax year two years prior to the year of notification. For example, if a notification was received in 2013, it would relate to 1099-R forms for tax year 2011. On the first business day after the deadline for receipt of the W9BN, a First “B” Notice enforced date is placed on all accounts involved in the mailing for which a W9BN is not returned. The “B” Notice fields are used in Pershing’s system. Pershing follows IRS Reasonable Cause procedures as outlined in IRS Publication 1586. The process is very similar to that required for “B” Notices. While distributions from retirement plans are not subject to backup withholding, the “B” Notices field is utilized to signify and trigger the mandatory federal (and appropriate state) tax withholding requirement for the account. The Pershing Automatic Cash Exchange (PACE) system holds are placed on the accounts as is the following notebook message, for example: IRS B NOTICE DATE 2013-11-17 INCORRECT NAME/TIN MINIMUM 10% FED TAX W/H REQD. If an account has a standing periodic distribution instruction, Pershing will update the withholding election to at least 10%, as required. Once updated, per IRS regulations, a new instruction must be supplied to change the withholding election. >W-9 Mailing Pershing is required to solicit W-9 forms directly from the appropriate account holder for the accounts identified in the notification. Solicitations include a letter explaining the mismatch, what actions the account owner should take, a pre-printed substitute IRS Form W-9 (W9BN) and a return envelope. The First “B” Notice Notification date field in Account Services is populated with the W9BN mailing date. The substitute W9BN form must be used to avoid mandatory withholding (not IRS Form W-9). If a blank W9BN form is needed, it can be found in Marketing Center in Resources via NetX360, key word: IRS B Notice. The following report is made available in Report Center via NetX360 prior to the client mailing: 1099-R Name and TIN Mismatches for Tax Year 20XX (Report ID: IRA110R0) and a communication is distributed to provide information regarding the process. If an account holder returns the W9BN after the “B” Notice has been added to the account, then the “B” Notice-satisfied field will be populated and the mandatory withholding requirement will be lifted from the account. The PACE hold on the account will be removed and the following notebook message will be added: W9BN RECEIVED MIN W/H REQUIREMENT REMOVED. >Mandatory Withholding Requirement If the client does not respond to the TIN solicitation within the prescribed time frame (45 calendar days from the mailing date), Pershing is required to withhold a minimum of 10% federal taxes (and applicable state taxes) from distributions. Per IRS requirements in IRS Publication 1586, a new withholding election is required at any point after the mailing date if the client furnishes a different name and TIN combination. foreign distribution tax treatment >FOREIGN DISTRIBUTIONS: DEFINITION AND BASIC CONDITIONS 3. If funds are distributed to a nonresident alien or foreign estate and the account is documented with a W-8BEN, then 30% nonresident alien tax, or a reduced rate based upon validly claimed treaty benefits, must be withheld from the gross distribution amount. A foreign distribution, for these purposes, is defined as taxable amounts distributed from a retirement account that are disbursed either outside of the United States or within the United States to a nonresident alien. There are specific requirements regarding tax treatment for foreign distributions. >FOREIGN DISTRIBUTION TAX TREATMENT GRIDS In order to provide a more specific understanding of how Pershing will determine tax for foreign distributions, please refer to the two grids on the next page. There are three basic conditions: 1. If funds are distributed outside of the United States or its possessions to a U.S. person, then a minimum of 10% federal tax must be withheld from the gross distribution amount. –Grid #1 details how Pershing handles documented accounts, accounts with a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS W-9 on file. – Grid #2 details how Pershing handles undocumented accounts. Absent a form, IRS presumption rules [as provided in IRS Reg. Sec. 1.1441-1(b)(3)(iii)(C)] are followed to determine tax treatment. 2. If funds are distributed to a nonresident alien or foreign estate and the account is not documented with a W-8BEN, then 30% nonresident alien tax must be withheld from the gross distribution amount. Each grid has three lines, one for each possible scenario. On the following page is a grid with a written description of each scenario. 71 retirement Product Tax Information foreign distribution tax treatment grids GRID #1: Documented Account: Valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-9 on File IRS W-8BEN on File Treaty Benefits Claimed IRS W-9 on File Zero Treaty Country SSN Tax Type Required Minimum W/H IRS Tax Form #1 Yes No No N/A N/A NRA 30% 1042-S #2 Yes Yes No Yes* N/A NRA Treaty Rate 1042-S #3 No N/A Yes N/A N/A FED 10% 1099-R >Documented Account—Scenario #1 (Nonresident Alien or Foreign >Documented Account—Scenario #3 (U.S. Person): A foreign Estate): A foreign distribution is taken and a valid W-8BEN form is on file.

If a country is not noted below, then the nonresident alien rate is generally 30% of the gross distribution amount. To receive the reduced rate, an account holder must have a certified IRS Form W-8BEN, in which treaty benefits are claimed, on file with Pershing and coded in Pershing’s system.

These retirement and education savings accounts are usually tax-deferred. Taxpayers and earnings generally are not taxed until the funds are withdrawn. However, if a tax-deferred account invests in a limited partnership (LP) that produces UBTI, the account may be taxed on its share of the partnership’s income. If UBTI is earned and taxes are due, we will remit the appropriate federal income tax payment to the IRS or the state income tax payment to the applicable state taxing authority from the tax-deferred account. If the account is closed after December 31, 2013, or if sufficient cash is not available to pay the tax, we will file the tax return(s) and refer the IRS or state taxing authority to the account holder for collection of tax, interest and penalties. Please ensure that cash is in these accounts in order to satisfy the tax, penalties and interest due. Payments made with funds from outside the tax-deferred account are considered contributions to the tax-deferred accounts that may cause the account to have an impermissible excess contribution. We will not file returns or pay amounts due for accounts that were closed as of December 31, 2013. Pershing has been tracking net operating losses (NOLs) from the account’s partnership investments since 2003. Tax returns will be prepared using the NOL information we have on file. In the event that your client’s tax-deferred account incurred losses prior to 2003 that can be used to offset current-year income, evidence must be submitted to substantiate the losses. Appropriate evidence of prioryear losses can be found on the prior year’s Schedule K-1 forms. Schedule K-1 forms can be obtained from the LPs in which the taxdeferred account is currently or previously invested. Pershing does not guarantee the use of any prior year’s losses. If we receive the 2013 Schedule K-1 from the LPs after March 10, 2014, Pershing will have the tax returns prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers, filed and tax paid in approximately three weeks following the receipt of the Schedule K-1 form(s). In this case, the 2013 tax return will not be filed with the IRS and for any applicable state by April 15, 2014. However, if the account has an EIN on file, Pershing will file an extension on IRS Form 8868 with the IRS by April 15, 2014, to request additional time to file the return. A request to extend the time to file does not extend the time to pay tax. The IRS (and states) will impose penalties and interest for late payment of tax, or failure to pay estimated tax. PricewaterhouseCoopers will calculate the applicable penalties and interest and add it to the tax due on your client’s return. The client communication mailed to account holders will include a letter explaining the UBTI process, a copy of their tax return(s), a schedule reflecting the name of the LPs and the UBTI earned. Requests for the correction of the tax return(s) can be submitted to Pershing via the UBTI Correction Request Form. Correction requests may include, but are not limited to: >Submission for additional NOLs for years prior to 2003 >Submission for NOLs for accounts opened during 2013 Please note: Please provide prior-year Schedule K-1s to substantiate the information on the correction >Amended Schedule K-1 from an LP reflecting additional or different information Pershing’s Tax Reporting department may need to speak with you about these correction requests, so please be sure you provide a contact name, telephone number and a signature of the representative of the financial organization accompanied by the appropriate paperwork. Please either fax or mail correction requests to: Pershing LLC Attention: Tax Reporting Department One Pershing Plaza, 7th Floor Jersey City, New Jersey 07399 Direct Fax Number: (866) 355-5572 When we receive the 2013 tax information (Schedule K-1) from the LPs by March 10, 2014, Pershing will have tax returns prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers, filed and tax paid by April 15, 2014. Please note: Estimated tax payment penalties and interest may be assessed by the IRS in the event that quarterly estimated tax payments were not made in sufficient amounts from the tax-deferred account during 2013. This type of penalty applies to your clients if their 2013 tax due is in excess of $500.00. In these cases, PricewaterhouseCoopers will calculate the estimated tax payment penalty and interest and add it to the tax due on your client’s return. Requests for corrections are reviewed upon receipt, and are approved once we have received the necessary documentation. If the request is not in proper order, you will be contacted within 48 hours of the receipt of the correction. If applicable, corrected tax return(s) will be mailed to your client. The corrected tax return will be filed with the IRS and state, if applicable, with the appropriate tax payment. 74 retirement Product Tax Information IRS Form 990-T—Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return >REPORTS AND ONLINE DOCUMENTATION >FEES The UBTI Status Report (IRA984R0) will be available in Report Center via NetX360 by early April.

The plan sponsors have until the last day of the seventh month following the plan-year end to file IRS Form 5500. Annually, by the end of March, Pershing will prepare Plan Compensation Summary reports (a report for each plan where Pershing earned and retained $5,000 or more in compensation for the reporting period) and load to Report Center. You will be notified when the report is available. 78 frequently asked questions Frequently Asked Questions: Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) and IRS Forms 1099-R, 1099-Q, 5498 and 5498-ESA Q.Are there any changes to IRS Form 1099-R reporting for the tax year 2013? A.No. There are no changes to the format of the Form 1099-R this year. Q.Is my client required to attach a copy of IRS Form 1099-R to her tax return? A.It depends. Copy B of IRS Form 1099-R must be attached to the individual’s income tax return only if federal taxes were withheld from distributions during the year. The federal tax amount is reflected in Box 4 of the form. Q.My client received a distribution of $10,000 from her Pershing IRA in 2013. The funds were used to purchase a first-time home, which exempts the amount from the early distribution penalty. Box 7 of IRS Form 1099-R reflects Code 1. When I contacted Pershing for a correction, I was informed that Pershing reported the transaction properly and the client should claim the exemption on her income tax return. Is this true? A.Yes. The IRS requires Pershing to use an exception code, such as Code 2, but only in instances when we know that an exception to the 10% penalty applies. For distributions such as medical expenses, first-time home purchases or qualified higher education expenses, Pershing uses Code 1 if the account owner is under the age of 59½ when the distribution occurs. Your client may claim the exception by filing IRS Form 5329 along with her tax return. Q.My client took a distribution from his IRA and made a rollover contribution of the amount to his IRA within 60 days. Will he receive an IRS Form 1099-R for the distribution? A.Yes. The IRS requires that Pershing issue IRS Form 1099-R for all distributions that occur from the retirement account, including those that are rolled over in a timely manner. Your client will receive IRS Form 5498 for the rollover to offset IRS Form 1099-R. Q.My client made an excess IRA contribution in July 2012 and removed the excess amount in January 2013 before the tax filing deadline. Will my client receive IRS Form 1099-R or IRS Form 5498 for the distribution or contribution? A.The IRS requires all IRA distributions to be reported on IRS Form 1099-R, including return of excess contributions. IRS Form 1099-R will be issued for 2013, the year in which the distribution occurs. Pershing will indicate Code P in Box 7 of IRS Form 1099-R to let the IRS know that the distribution is attributable to an excess contribution made for 2012. If the excess contribution was attributable to 2013 and distributed in 2013, then IRS Form 1099-R would have been issued for 2013 and the code in Box 7 would be Code 8. The IRS also requires all IRA contributions to be reported on IRS Form 5498, even if a contribution is later removed. Q.My client established and funded a Traditional IRA in January 2013 and revoked the IRA seven days after signing the Adoption Agreement. My client still received an IRS Form 1099-R for the amount returned. Is this correct? A.According to the IRS instructions for filing IRS Form 1099-R and IRS Form 5498, IRA custodians must report revoked contributions on IRS Form 1099-R. The distributed amount is reported as a return of excess contribution. Your client will also receive IRS Form 5498 for the contribution amount. Q.Is my client required to attach a copy of IRS Form 5498 or Form 5498-ESA to her tax return? A.No. The IRS does not require your client to attach these forms to his or her tax return. Your client should retain the forms. Q.Why does Pershing send IRS Form 5498 and IRS Form 5498-ESA after the tax filing date? A.The IRS deadline for contributing to an IRA is April 15 of the following tax year. Since the filing requirements allow contributions to be made until April 15, including those that are mailed by April 15, the forms are prepared and mailed after the tax filing date. Q.My client did not receive an IRS Form 5498. My client was informed that even though a contribution for 2013 was not made, he should receive IRS Form 5498. Is this correct? A.No. For IRAs that have no other reporting activity for 2013, such as a contribution, conversion or recharacterization, Pershing is not required to issue IRS Form 5498. We must report, however, the fair market value of these IRAs. This information appears on your client’s December 2013 account statement. If there are any changes to the fair market value, the updated amount and a note indicating that the amount has been updated will be included in the monthly statement for the month in which the adjustment is made. Q.My client deposited a 2013 SEP contribution to a SEP IRA in January 2014. This amount, however, was not included on her 2013 IRS Form 5498. Is this correct? A.Yes. The IRS requires Pershing to report SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRA contributions, including salary reduction and deferral contributions, for the calendar year that we receive the contribution, regardless of the tax year to which the employer might be contributing. Your client should report contributions based on the tax year, not the calendar year. For contributions that are clearly marked “previous year,” Pershing will add the trailer “contribution received current year for previous year” to the transaction. Q.If my client revokes his 2013 IRA contribution in a timely manner, will he still receive IRS Form 5498? A.Yes. Any reportable contributions made for 2013, even if the contribution is revoked before December 31, 2013, must be reported on IRS Form 5498. 79 frequently asked questions Q. What is an RMD? A.Under federal regulations, owners of Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, qualified plans and 403(b) accounts are required to distribute a certain amount from the retirement account each year beginning with the year in which the participant reached age 70½1. This amount is referred to as a required minimum distribution, or RMD. Generally, the RMD for a year is determined by dividing the previous year-end fair market value by the retirement account owner’s life expectancy factor, which may be obtained by using the life expectancy tables in IRS Publication 590. The RMD amount must be distributed by December 31 of each year. An exception applies the year in which the participant reaches age 70½, where he or she is allowed to defer the RMD for that year until April 1 of the following year. Q.What happens if the participant fails to withdraw the RMD amount? A.If the participant fails to withdraw the RMD amount by the applicable deadline, he or she will owe the IRS an excise tax of 50% of the shortfall. This is referred to as an excess accumulation tax. Q.If the participant already filed his or her IRS Form 1040 for the year, can he or she still file IRS Form 5329? A.The participant should contact his or her tax professional for assistance if he or she already filed his or her IRS Form 1040 for the year and did not include IRS Form 5329. Q.Where can the participant obtain IRS Form 5329? A.IRS Form 5329 and the instructions are available online at irs.gov, at most local libraries or by contacting the IRS at (800) 829-3676. Q.Who should the participant contact for assistance with completing IRS Form 5329? A.The participant should contact a tax professional for assistance with completing IRS Form 5329. The participant may also refer to IRS Publication 910, Guide to Free Tax Services, for information on free tax services offered by the IRS. Q.Can Pershing assist the participant with requesting the waiver? A.No. Such assistance must be provided by a party qualified to offer tax advice. Pershing does not provide tax advice. Q.Will Pershing be able to process and report the withdrawal as a 2013 transaction if the participant submitted the withdrawal request to the firm in 2013, but the request was not forwarded to Pershing until 2014? A.No. In order to be in compliance with IRS reporting requirements, distribution requests processed after December 31, 2013, cannot be reported for 2013. Requests to report transactions processed after December 31, 2013, for tax year 2013 will not be honored. Q.Is there any provision for waiving the penalty? A.Yes. If the participant feels that there is a reasonable excuse for failing to satisfy the RMD in a timely manner, he or she may ask the IRS to waive the excess accumulation tax. According to the instructions provided by the IRS in IRS Publication 590, the participant must take the following steps when the waiver is being requested: – Withdraw the RMD amount – File IRS Form 5329 with his or her Form 1040 (tax return) – Pay any tax owed on the excess accumulation – Attach a letter of explanation If the IRS approves the request, it will refund the excess accumulation taxes paid by the participant. Please note: – Pershing will report the distribution for the year it is processed. – The participant is responsible for paying the excise tax to the IRS when he or she files IRS Form 5329. – If the participant elects to pay the excise tax from his or her retirement account, it will be considered a distribution and will be reported in the year it is processed. 1 Participant may be able to defer beginning the RMD until April 1 of the year after the year the individual retires from service with the employer that sponsored the plan. Participants should refer to their plan administrator or the plan document for the rules that apply to the plan. © 2014 Pershing LLC, member FINRA, NYSE, SIPC, is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon).
