U.S. government obligations
income information
Important tax information for 2024
This tax update provides information to help clients properly report state and local tax liability on ordinary income
distributions received from mutual fund investments in 2024.
On the next page, you’ll find a list of Vanguard funds that earned a portion of their ordinary dividends from
obligations of the U.S. government. Direct U.S. government obligations and certain U.S. government agency
obligations are generally exempt from taxation in most states.1
Percentage of the fund’s total ordinary dividends derived from U.S. government obligations in 2024.
A state or local tax office or a tax advisor can help determine whether your state allows the exclusion of some
of or all the income earned from mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations. If your state allows an
exclusion, refer to the next page for the percentage of ordinary dividends derived from U.S. government obligations
that may be excluded for each fund that was invested in. To determine the portion of dividends that may be exempt
from state income tax, multiply the amount of “ordinary dividends” reported in Box 1a of Form 1099-DIV by the
percentage listed in the following table.
The amount of each ordinary income distribution you received is reported on your 1099:
• For Vanguard brokerage accounts: In the detail portion of your 1099 Tax Statement, see Details for Dividends
and Distributions. For each fund, subtract from the Total Dividends and distributions any Long-term capital
gains, or any Nondividend distributions, or both.
• For Vanguard legacy mutual fund accounts: See your 1099-DIV Box 1a, Total ordinary dividends
