I purchased SPDR Gold Trust Shares in 2025 but did not sell any of the shares during the year. There are no transactions being reported on the 1099-B section of the Consolidated 1099, but there are monthly factors and amounts shown in the information section of the 1099 labelled "Commodity Trust WHFIT Information". It's unclear to me what these amounts mean. Are they gains from selling gold inside the trust to pay expenses and therefore taxable gains? Are they the actual expenses borne by me as the investor which are not currently deductible?. Or are they amounts that I should reduce my basis in the gold trust shares when or if I ever sell some or all of my holdings?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
