Qualified dividends. This is a hypothetical involving buying a stock in a taxable brokerage account. Refer to the additional details for the full question.
Say you purchase XYZ stock on December 1st and you receive a dividend on the 15th of December. Fast forward to when you receive your 1099-Div on January 31st of the following and it is reported that the dividend is not considered a qualified dividend. However you continue to hold onto the stock for 60 days after you bought it thus sometime in February it should then become a qualified dividend (once the holding period is satisfied). At that point are you re-issued a 1099-Div or because as of December 31st it considered non-qualified can you not get qualified status. Also provided it is considered a qualified dividend to whose prerogative is it to let you know (i.e. is it up to your brokerage firm to inform you or would you need to contact the stocks transfer agent)? Thanks for the help in advance!
