Yes, you should complete this form-
What is Form 2439? Form 2439, Notice to Shareholder of Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains is the form required to be issued by regulated investment companies (RICs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs) when there have been undistributed long-term capital gains.
If you have received a Form 2439 and there was tax paid by the RIC or REIT (see box 2) then you may be due a refund. This is true even if your investment is held in your IRA. Individuals who have already filed their tax returns can file an amendment using Form 1040X. For investments held in an IRA, Form 990-T can be filed.
- Undistributed capital gains. If your mutual fund sends you a Form 2439: Notice to Shareholder of Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains increase your basis by the amount of undistributed capital gain that you include in income and reduce your basis by the amount of tax paid by the fund on the undistributed gain (both amounts are reported to you on Form 2439). Finally, don’t forget to claim a tax credit on your 2020 Form 1040 for the amount of tax paid by the fund in 2020.
