ä TAX INFORMATION STATEMENTS VERSUS BROKERAGE ACCOUNT STATEMENTSBrokerage account statements provide taxpayers with a cash basis summary of their accounts for the 2007 calendar year.Tax information statements reflect information on a tax basis.Although there may be differences between the two documents,tax information statements are the authoritative document for tax reporting purposes.

The statements may differ in any of the following situations:

I Tax classifications for income paid by mutual funds, real estateinvestment trusts (REITs), and unit investment trusts (UITs) arereported on the tax information statement based on informationprovided by the administrators of these companies after year end.Their year-end tax classifications often differ from theclassifications reported on the monthly brokerage accountstatements.

I Dividends declared and made payable by mutual funds and REITsin October, November, or December 2007 are reported on the2007 tax information statement, even when the dividends areactually paid in January 2008. These dividends are referred to asspillover dividends and will not be reported again on the 2008 tax information statement.

I Tax information statements display trade activity based on tradedate. Monthly brokerage account statements display trade activityon a settlement date basis.

I Interest income earned on REMICs is not included on taxinformation statements issued in February 2008. This informationis due to your clients by March 15, 2008. Income from REMICsis reported on an accrual basis when earned (not when paid).Consequently, there may be differences between interest incomecredited on brokerage account statements and income reported on the tax information statement.

Our tax reporting system uses Pershing’s Security Master file to ensure the proper classification of income. External vendors (for instance, Automatic Data Processing, Inc.® [ADP], Bloomberg®

Financial Services, Ernst & Young, Interactive Data Corporation,J.J. Kenny Information Services, Lipper® Analytical Services,Standard & Poor’s®, and WSC Investment Services) are used to verify classification of income.

I Corporate Actions—For corporate actions, especially cash andstock mergers, the Schedule of Realized Gains and Losses mayreport the economic gain or loss resulting from the transaction,including the value of any stock or securities received. Thus, theSchedule of Realized Gains and Losses may report no capitalgain, a capital gain equal to the difference between the originalcost basis versus the fair market value of the new security, or acapital gain equal to the cash received, depending on the terms of the corporate action. In all events, however, the Form 1099 will only report the cash portion of the corporate action.

I Fixed Income—Maturities and redemptions for short-terminstruments (maturities of less than one year) are included in theSchedule of Realized Gains and Losses. However, this income isreported to the IRS on Form 1099-INT.

I Options (Assignment)—For the Schedule of Realized Gains andLosses, the underlying security proceeds are adjusted by thepremium paid or received from the options contract. However, ifthe assignment of the options constitutes a sale of the underlyingsecurities, the proceeds of the sale are reported to the IRS onForm 1099-B, without taking the premium into account.

I Interest income from U.S. Treasury bills purchased and redeemedthrough Pershing is reported on IRS Form 1099-INT.

ä ORDINARY DIVIDENDSI From mutual funds, REITs, UITs, and from both U.S. and

foreign corporationsI Paid on money market and bond fundsI From short-term capital gains paid by federal mutual funds

(including tax-exempt mutual funds)

ä QUALIFIED DIVIDENDS This section lists the portion of dividends that are eligible for the new 15% (or 5%) maximum rate. Certain conditions apply for these reduced tax rates. Your client should contact a tax professional for assistance.

ä TOTAL CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONSThis section lists long-term capital gain distributions paid bymutual funds and REITs.

ä IMPORTANT POINTSI Dividend income from equities is generally reported when paid.I Your clients may receive a revised tax information statement

from us if they owned one or more mutual funds, REITs, orUITs. Each year these companies frequently reclassify theirdistributions for tax purposes based on their year-endcalculations. Reclassifications are often announced after initialtax information statements are mailed. If we do not receiveincome reclassifications, the distributions will be classified asnonqualified dividends. Pershing will include two asterisks (**)beside income listed in the Form 1099-DIV section to indicatethat we have not received information from the correspondinginvestment company, and there is a possibility that the taxinformation statement will be revised.

I Spillover distributions paid by mutual funds are reported in theyear distributions are declared and are typically paid in January of the following year.

ä OID DEFINEDOID is the difference between the stated redemption price atmaturity and the issue price of a bond, debenture, note, or otherevidence of indebtedness.

ä REPORTED OID TRANSACTIONS I We report OID on corporate bonds, certificate of deposits,

CDOs, CMOs, U.S. government obligations, and separate trading of registered interest and principal of securities (STRIPS) obligations.

I Other periodic interest.

ä IMPORTANT POINTSI Your clients may be required to report a portion of this income

even though cash payments were not received.I Transactions are reported to the IRS on a security-level basis.I Your client may be required to recalculate OID if an acquisition

premium was paid or if Pershing reported an estimated amountbased on IRS Publication 1212. We now denote if we usedPublication 1212.

I If an OID instrument was transferred during the tax year into an account at Pershing, the OID for the period held at Pershingduring 2007 is reported. Your clients should obtain another IRSForm 1099-OID from the prior firm which shows remainingOID portions to be reported.

I If a company is in Chapter 11 or has declared bankruptcy,Pershing may still be required to report OID income.

NONRETIREMENT PRODUCT TAX INFORMATIONNONRETIREMENT PRODUCT TAX INFORMATION

REVISED TAX INFORMATION STATEMENTS

As information becomes available to us subsequent to the initial tax information statement mailing, we process this information and provide arevised tax information statement to your clients. Tax information statements may be revised for any of the following reasons:

RECLASSIFIED INCOME

Typically, reclassifications involve the following categories:

I Ordinary dividends*

I Qualified dividends*

I Capital gain distributions*n Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain*n Section 1202 Gain*n Collectibles (28%) Gain*

I Nontaxable distributions*

I Liquidation distributions*

I Tax-exempt income from specified private activity bonds

I Tax-exempt interest* Refer to page 25

ä UIT REPORTINGIncome from UITs will be reported based on information from theUIT administrators. This is necessary in order to distinguish thevarious types of income that a UIT could generate, such as interestincome, tax-exempt income, specified private activity bonds, qualifieddividend income, nonqualified dividend income, or OID.

Your clients who own UITs will see the following information ontheir tax information statement:

I INCOME CLASSIFICATION: Income from UITs will be reported in one ormore of the Form 1099-DIV, INT, or OID sections of the taxinformation statement, depending on the nature of the income.

I ACCRUAL-BASED REPORTING: Income will be reported on the taxinformation statement as it is earned by the UIT, which may differ from the date the UIT distributes the income. In the 1099-DIV and INT sections, separate entries will be displayed for income that is received in cash and for accrued income.

I ADDITIONAL DATA: Tax information statements will show “InvestmentExpenses” and “Foreign Tax Paid” as separate categories when the UITadministrator includes this data in the information provided to us.

ä IMPORTANT POINTSWhen reclassification information is made available, revised taxinformation statements are printed to reflect the corrected reportingamounts. The revised tax summary statement precedes the revised taxinformation statement and details all reclassifications, additions,deletions, and changes. For reclassification information available priorto February 8, 2008, the information is included in the initial taxinformation statement. All other reclassifications will be processed andmailed based on the calendar schedule on page 22 of this handbook.

Please note that the tax information statement revision schedule is subject to change. Pershing may need to revise the revisionschedule based on the timing of tax information received frommutual funds and REITs.

I Foreign tax rates on regulated investment companies’ foreign sourceincome are generally received after the initial mailing. As thisinformation becomes available, it will be forwarded to your clients.

I We engage an external vendor to collect income reclassificationinformation for regulated investment companies. By obtaining thisinformation in a timely manner, we can greatly reduce the numberof revised tax information statements processed.

I If you know of companies that reclassify their income after year end, provide us with a copy of the information on thecompany’s letterhead. All reportable accounts holding that position will be updated.

I Revision information is updated online in TXAS after therevisions are processed and may be accessed using the Tax ReportInquiry function (see page 34 for additional information).

I Revised tax information statements, including the revised taxsummary statement page, are also uploaded to e-Document Suiteafter processing. Copies of individual account holder statementsmay be obtained from this system (a CD-ROM will be providedlater in the year that will contain the final tax informationstatements, as filed with the IRS).

I You can access Report Center to view a list of accounts being revised.

It may be necessary to reclassify previously reported distributions to another category, since the tax status of payments made by corporations, mutualfunds, UITs, and REITs can only be determined after the end of the tax year. Some of these companies may not be able to furnish their classificationsbefore we mail the tax information statements in February. As a result, we will issue revised tax information statements to clients who receiveddistributions from one or more of these companies.

I Reclassified incomeI Changed foreign tax withholding I Adjusted income paidI Canceled trades or “as of ” trades appear on tax statementsI Updated OID rates (refer to page 25)I Changed TIN

I Data becomes available after tax information statement distribution, such as:n Spillover mutual fund distributions (refer to page 25)n CDOsn CMOsn REMICsn OID rates (refer to page 25)n WHMTs

between interest payment dates is reported on a settlement datebasis and is included in the tax-exempt interest income category.Amounts representing accrued interest sold are identified with asymbol (*) on your clients’ statements. It may be necessary toreduce the amount of the tax-exempt interest income category bythe amount of accrued interest purchased.

I If municipal bonds issued with OID were transferred to Pershingduring 2007, we only calculate OID for the period during whichthe instruments were held at Pershing.

ä NONREPORTABLE DISTRIBUTIONSI Partnership Cash Distributions

n Your clients who hold limited partnership interests are sent anIRS Schedule K-1 directly from the partnership even thoughthe position is held in “street name” at Pershing. Pershing is required by law to provide partner information directly to the partnerships.

n Your clients should contact the partnership’s administrator if they do not receive their IRS Schedule K-1 (K-1 forms are not required to be issued until April 16, 2008).

I Trust Distributionsn Trust distributions include payments from publicly traded

trusts. IRS Schedule K-1 and Form 1041, which areforwarded to your clients directly from the trust, reflect your clients’ share of the trust’s taxable income or loss.

I Return of Principal Distributionsn Generally, return of principal distributions on bonds are

not reportable as taxable income, but reduce the tax basis of your client’s bond. In certain circumstances, however,a portion of the distributions may be reportable as taxableincome. Final principal distributions from a bond arereported in the Form 1099-B section of the tax informationstatement and are reported to the IRS.

sales, purchases, exercises, assignments, and expirations of equity options.

I Securities Purchased includes accrued interest purchased on bonds.

ä MARGIN INTEREST EXPENSE Your clients should refer to their tax professionals or obtain IRSForm 4952 (Investment Interest Expense Deduction) for moreinformation on margin interest expense.

We do not report the following categories of information to the IRS: Municipal Original Issue Discount (OID), Nonreportable Distributions,Equity Options Transactions, Margin Interest Expense, and Securities Purchased.

FEDERAL TAX WITHHOLDING (BACKUP WITHHOLDING)

ä BACKUP WITHHOLDING DEFINEDBackup withholding is a federal tax that we are required to withholdfrom certain reportable payments. Backup withholding applies topayments made that are reportable on IRS Forms 1099-B, 1099-DIV,1099-INT, 1099-MISC, or 1099-OID, and is reported as federal taxwithheld in the applicable section of the tax information statement.

Backup withholding applies to reportable payments if:

I Your client fails to provide a valid TIN.

I Your client fails to certify a TIN on an IRS Form W-9 foraccounts opened after December 31, 1983.

I The IRS mandates backup withholding due to an incorrect matchbetween client name and TIN provided. This IRS notification isreferred to as a B-Notice.

I The IRS mandates backup withholding because of underreportedinterest or dividends on tax returns. This IRS notification isreferred to as a C-Notice.

ä CLAIMING BACKUP WITHHOLDINGI U.S. citizens (and residents for tax purposes) should claim backup

withholding as tax payment on their federal income tax returns.

I Foreign clients may claim backup withholding on IRS Form 1040-NR (U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return) or IRSForm 1120-F (U.S. Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation).

I Tax-exempt entities and corporations may claim backupwithholding on either IRS Form 990-T (Exempt OrganizationBusiness Income Tax Return) used by tax-exempt organizations or IRS Form 1120 (U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return).

NOTE: The federal backup withholding rate is 28%.

REASON FOR WITHHOLDING

Client has not provided his or her TIN or has not certified his orher TIN.

B-Notice—Notification from the IRS of name or TIN mismatch.

C-Notice—Notification from the IRS stating that we must withholdtax from interest and dividends because the IRS determined that anindividual underreported interest and dividends on the tax return.

HOW TO STOP WITHHOLDING

Have the client complete IRS Form W-9, Request for TaxpayerIdentification Number and Certification, and an individual at your firm should certify the form on Pershing’s Documentation,Recording, and Tracking (KUST) system. See Bulletin #2001-17for more information.

For first-time recipients of a B-Notice:I Have the client complete IRS Form W-9 and send it to Pershing.

For second-time recipients of a B-Notice:I Individual—Obtain Letter SSA 7028 from the Social Security

Administration and have it sent to Pershing.I Account holders who are not individuals—Obtain Letter 147C

from the IRS and have it sent to Pershing.

Have the IRS send Pershing a stop letter to discontinue backup withholding.

RETIREMENT PRODUCT TAX INFORMATIONRETIREMENT PRODUCT TAX INFORMATION

ä SUBSTITUTE IRS FORMS 1099-R, 1099-Q, 5498 AND 5498-ESAPershing has created substitute Forms 1099-R and 1099-Q for usefor tax year 2007 reporting and forward. Pershing created substituteForms 5498 and 5498-ESA for use for tax year 2006 reporting andforward. The forms were developed in accordance with IRSPublication 1179: General Rules and Specifications for SubstituteForms. The forms were designed to emulate Pershing’s substituteForm 1099 and Pershing’s award-winning statement.

The Pershing substitute Form 1099-R will be a three-pagedocument. Recipient Copy C will be on the front of page 1 and the IRS instructions will be on the back of the page. Copy B will be on the front of page 2 and Copy 2 will be on the front of page 3.The Pershing substitute Form 1099-Q will be a one-page documentwith recipient Copy B on the front of the page and the IRSinstructions on the back.

Samples of the forms are provided later in this section. Going forwardcorrected forms for the previous year will be generated using the newlydesigned forms. For corrections to tax years earlier than the prior yearthe standard IRS form will be used. For more information on thecorrection process see the pages later in this section.

ä MULTIPLE 1099-R FORMS FOR AN ACCOUNTPershing will no longer send multiple forms for an account withmultiple transaction types if the transactions result in the same 1099-R distribution code. For example, if a Traditional IRAaccount holder is 60 years old and takes a normal distribution in2007 for $5,000 and then does a Roth conversion later in the sameyear valued at $50,000 there will be one 1099-R sent for $55,000.The distribution code in Box 7 of Form 1099-R, for this example,will be a 7. We will continue to send multiple forms for an accountif transactions result in different distribution codes (per IRSinstructions) or if more than one state of residence is associatedwith distribution activity for the same code. Please see pages 43 and 44 for a complete list of Form 1099-R distribution codes.

ä PPA ON POINTA provision of the Pension Protection Act (PPA) of 2006 allows for a direct rollover by a nonspouse from a qualified retirement plan to aninherited IRA. This provision was effective January 1, 2007.

PPA also included provisions for bankruptcy catch-up contributionsand qualified reservist recontributions. Per IRS instructions theseamounts are to be reported in the “blank box” to the left of Box 10on the IRS Form 5498. As noted, Pershing has created a substituteForm 5498 and will accommodate this change on the 2007 form.

PPA contained certain provisions not effective until 2008 or later.One provision allows for the “direct rollover” from qualifiedretirement plans to Roth IRAs for eligible participants beginningJanuary 1, 2008.

For more information on these and other provisions of the PPA,please refer to the PPA on Point link in The Retirement ProductsSuite of The Source in NetExchange Pro.

ä NEW HANDBOOK SECTIONSSections have been added to the handbook this year to provideinformation regarding Foreign Distribution Withholding andrequirements related to IRS 1099-R Name/TIN Mismatch Notices.Refer to the related sections for more details on these topics.

RETIREMENT PRODUCT TAX INFORMATION

FORM 1099-R NAME/TIN MISMATCH NOTICES

ä IRS NOTIFICATIONThe IRS notifies Pershing when a name/TIN combination on our 1099-Rs does not match the records of the Social SecurityAdministration or the Internal Revenue Service. This notification is typically received in September or October each year and pertainsto forms filed for the tax year two years prior to the year ofnotification. For example, the notification received in 2007 was related to 1099-R forms for tax year 2005.

ä W-9 MAILINGPershing is required to solicit W-9 forms directly from theappropriate end-clients for the accounts identified in the notification.Solicitations include a letter explaining the mismatch, what actionsthe account owner should take, a pre-printed substitute Form W-9,and a return envelope. The 1st B-Notice Notification date field in Account Services is populated with the W-9 mailing date.

The following report is made available in Report Center in NetExchange Pro at least two weeks prior to the client mailing: 1099-R Name/TIN Mismatches for Tax Year 20XX(Report ID: IRA110R0).

ä MANDATORY WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTIf the end-client does not respond to the TIN solicitation within the prescribed time frame (45 calendar days from the mailing date),Pershing is required to withhold a minimum of 10% federal taxes(and applicable state taxes) from distributions.

On the first business day after the deadline for receipt of the W-9,a 1st B-Notice enforced date is placed on all accounts involved inthe mailing for which a W-9 is not returned. The B-Notice fieldsare used in Pershing’s system. Pershing follows IRS ReasonableCause procedures as outlined in IRS Publication 1586 and theprocess is very similar to that required for B-Notices. Whiledistributions from retirement plans generally are not subject tobackup withholding, the B-Notice field is utilized to signify andtrigger the mandatory federal (and appropriate state) tax withholdingrequirement for the account. Pershing Automatic Cash Exchange(PACE) System holds are placed on the accounts as is the following notebook message, for example: IRS B NOTICE DATE 2007-10-26 INCORRECT NAME/TIN MINIMUM 10% FED TAX W/H REQD. If an account has a standing periodicdistribution instruction, Pershing will update the withholdingelection to at least 10%, as required. Once updated, per IRSregulations, a new instruction must be supplied to change thewithholding election.

If an account holder returns the W-9 after the B-Notice has beenadded to the account, then the B-Notice satisfied field will bepopulated and the mandatory withholding requirement will be liftedfrom the account. The PACE hold on the account will be removedand the following notebook message will be added: W-9RECEIVED MIN W/H REQUIREMENT REMOVED.

FOREIGN DISTRIBUTION TAX TREATMENT

ä FOREIGN DISTRIBUTIONS: DEFINITION AND BASIC CONDITIONSA foreign distribution, for these purposes, is defined as follows:Taxable amounts distributed from a retirement account that aredisbursed either outside of the United States or within the U.S.to a nonresident alien. There are specific requirements regarding tax treatment for foreign distributions.

There are three basic conditions:

1. If funds are distributed outside of the U.S. to a U.S. citizen orresident alien of the U.S. then a minimum of 10% federal tax must be withheld from the gross distribution amount.

2. If funds are distributed to a nonresident alien and the account isNOT documented with a W-8BEN then a minimum of 30%NRA tax must be withheld from the gross distribution amount.

3. If funds are distributed to a nonresident alien and the account ISdocumented with a W-8BEN then a minimum of 30% NRA tax,or a reduced rate based upon claimed treaty benefits, must bewithheld from the gross distribution amount.

ä FOREIGN DISTRIBUTION TAX TREATMENT GRIDSIn order to provide a more specific understanding of how Pershingwill determine tax for foreign distributions please refer to the twogrids on the next page.

I Grid #1 details how Pershing handles Documented Accounts,accounts with a valid form W-8BEN or W-9 on file.

I Grid #2 details how Pershing handles Undocumented Accounts.Absent a form, IRS presumption rules (as provided in IRC1.1441-1(b)(3)(iii)(C)) are followed to determine tax treatment.

Each grid has three lines, one for each possible tax treatmentscenario. Below each grid is a written description of each scenarioin that grid.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Are there any changes to IRS Form 1099-R reporting for the tax year 2007?

A. There are no changes to IRS Form 1099-R reporting for tax year2007. As noted earlier in this section, please refer to the PPA onPoint link in The Retirement Products section of The Source inNetExchange Pro. The link provides information regarding thePension Protection Act of 2006. Many provisions of the act becameeffective in 2007.

Q. Is my client required to attach a copy of IRS Form 1099-R to her tax return?

A. It depends. Copy B of Form 1099-R must be attached to theindividual’s income tax return only if federal taxes were withheld fromdistributions during the year. The federal tax amount is reflected inBox 4 of the form.

Q. My client received a distribution of $10,000 from his Pershing IRAin 2007. The funds were used to purchase a first-time home, whichexempts the amount from the early distribution penalty. Box 7 ofForm 1099-R reflects Code 1. When I contacted Pershing for acorrection, I was informed that Pershing reported the transactionproperly and the client should claim the exemption on his incometax return. Is this true?

A. Yes. The IRS requires Pershing to use an exception code, such asCode 2, only in instances when we know that an exception to the10% penalty applies. For distributions such as medical expenses,first-time home purchases, or qualified higher education expenses,Pershing uses Code 1 if the account owner is under the age of 591/2when the distribution occurs. Your client may claim the exception by filing IRS Form 5329 along with his tax return.

Q. My client took a distribution from his IRA and made a rollovercontribution of the amount to his IRA within 60 days. Will hereceive an IRS Form 1099-R for the distribution?

A. Yes. The IRS requires that Pershing issue IRS Form 1099-R for alldistributions that occur from the retirement account, including thosethat are rolled over in a timely manner. Your client will receive IRSForm 5498 for the rollover to offset IRS Form 1099-R.

Q. My client made an excess IRA contribution in July 2006 andremoved the excess amount in January 2007, before the tax filingdeadline. Will my client receive IRS Form 1099-R or Form 5498 for the distribution/contribution?

A. The IRS requires all IRA distributions to be reported on IRS Form1099-R, including return of excess contributions. IRS Form 1099-Rwill be issued for 2007, the year in which the distribution occurs.Pershing will indicate Code P in Box 7 of Form 1099-R to let the IRS know that the distribution is attributable to an excesscontribution made for 2006. If the excess contribution wasattributable to 2007 and distributed in 2007, then IRS Form 1099-Rwould have been issued for 2007 and the code in Box 7 would beCode 8. The IRS also requires all IRA contributions to be reportedon IRS Form 5498, even if the contribution is later removed.

Q. My client established and funded a Traditional IRA in January of2007 and revoked the IRA seven days after signing the adoptionagreement. My client still received an IRS Form 1099-R for theamount returned. Is this correct?

A. According to the IRS instructions for filing IRS Form 1099-R andForm 5498, IRA custodians must report revoked contributions onIRS Form 1099-R. The distributed amount is reported as a return of excess contribution. Your client will also receive IRS Form 5498for the contribution amount.

Q. Why did Pershing check Box 2b “Taxable amount not determined”on Form 1099-R for my Traditional IRA when an amount isreported in Box 2a as a taxable amount?

A. Generally, the IRS requires that we report distribution amounts from your Traditional IRA as taxable. However, because we areunable to determine whether a portion of your distribution is tax-free, we also check Box 2b. This allows you to make the IRSaware if any portion of your distribution is nontaxable. Speak withyour tax professional about the forms that you must file with theIRS when your distribution includes nontaxable amounts.

Q. Is my client required to attach a copy of IRS Form 5498 or Form 5498-ESA to her tax return?

A. No. The IRS does not require your client to attach these forms toher tax return. Your client should retain the forms.

Q. Why does Pershing send IRS Form 5498 and Form 5498-ESA afterthe tax filing date?

A. The IRS deadline for contributing to an IRA is April 15 of thefollowing tax year. Since the filing requirements allow contributionsto be made until April 15, including those that are mailed by April 15, the forms are prepared and mailed after the tax filing date.

Q. My client did not receive an IRS Form 5498. My client was informedthat even though a contribution for 2007 was not made, he shouldreceive IRS Form 5498. Is this correct?

A. No. For IRAs that have no other reporting activity for 2007, such as a contribution, conversion, or recharacterization, Pershing is notrequired to issue IRS Form 5498. We must report, however, the fair market value of these IRAs. This information appears on theJanuary 2008 brokerage account statement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED)

Q. My client deposited a 2006 SEP contribution to a SEP IRA inJanuary 2007. This amount, however, was not included on her 2006IRS Form 5498. Is this correct?

A. Yes. The IRS requires Pershing to report SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRAcontributions, including salary reduction/deferral contributions for thecalendar year that we receive the contribution regardless of the taxyear for which the employer might be contributing. Your client shouldreport contributions based on the tax year, not the calendar year. Forcontributions that are clearly marked “previous year,” Pershing will add the trailer “contribution received current year for previous year”to the transaction.

Q. If my client revokes his 2007 IRA contribution on a timely basis,will he still receive IRS Form 5498?

A. Yes. Any reportable contributions made for 2007, even if thecontribution is revoked before December 31, 2007, must be reported on IRS Form 5498.

Q. What is a RMD?

A. Under federal regulations, owner’s of Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs,SIMPLE IRAs, qualified plans, and 403(b) accounts are required todistribute a certain amount from the retirement account each yearbeginning the year the participant reached age 701/2.1 This amount is referred to as a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).Generally, the RMD for a year is determined by dividing theprevious year-end fair market value (FMV) by the retirementaccount owner’s life expectancy factor, which may be obtained byusing the life expectancy tables in IRS Publication 590. The RMDamount must be distributed by December 31 of each year. Anexception applies the year the participant reaches age 701/2, wherehe/she is allowed to defer the RMD for that year until April 1 of the following year.

Q. What happens if the participant fails to withdraw the RMD amount?

A. If the participant fails to withdraw the RMD amount by theapplicable deadline, he/she will owe the IRS an excise tax of 50% of the shortfall. This is referred to as an excess accumulation tax.

Q. Will Pershing be able to process and report the withdrawal as a 2007transaction if the participant submitted the withdrawal request tothe introducing broker-dealer in 2007, but the request was notforwarded to Pershing until 2008?

A. No. In order to be in compliance with IRS reporting requirements,distribution requests processed after December 31, 2007 cannot bereported for 2007. Requests to report transactions processed afterDecember 31, 2007 for tax year 2007 will not be honored.

Q. Is there any provision for waiving the penalty?

A. Yes. If the participant feels that there is a reasonable excuse forfailing to satisfy the RMD in a timely manner, he/she may ask the IRS to waive the excess accumulation tax. According to theinstructions provided by the IRS in Publication 590, the participantmust take the following steps when the waiver is being requested:

- Withdraw the RMD amount

- File IRS Form 5329 with his/her Form 1040 (tax return)

- Pay any tax owed on the excess accumulation

- Attach a letter of explanation

If the IRS approves the request, it will refund the excessaccumulation taxes paid by the participant.

- The participant is responsible for paying the excise tax to the IRSwhen he/she files IRS Form 5329.

- If the participant elects to pay the excise tax from his/herretirement account, it will be considered a distribution and will be reported in the year it is processed.

Q. If the participant already filed his/her IRS Form 1040 for the year,can he/she still file IRS Form 5329?

A. The participant should contact his/her tax advisor for assistance if he/she already filed his/her IRS Form 1040 for the year and did not include IRS Form 5329.

Q. Where can the participant obtain IRS Form 5329?

A. IRS Form 5329 and the instructions are available online atwww.irs.gov, at most local libraries, or by contacting the IRS at (800) 829-3676.
