you won't be getting statements from the IRS at year-end. those 1099's come from the fund. you'll receive a 1099-DIV if either ordinary and/or capital gain dividends are paid. you'll receive a 1099-B if you personally sell shares. some funds send out a consolidated 1099 to report both types of 1099's.
every fund has an investors relations website that might contain projected tax info for the year. also most if not all send out quarterly reports of what occurred in an investor's account. this would include dividends paid - broken down between ordinary and capital, dividends reinvested and report of gain/loss onyour own sales.
