FFGO - Sorry, OldBen. FFGO will not show up on a 1099 unless the shareholder instructed the broker to write-down the shares as worthless.

There is a very strong call by market makers for shareholders to take tax losses, even when tax losses aren't earned in 2011.

Wouldn't want to the one who claims a loss, not reported by broker on a Form 1099, then report a dividend capital gain on those same shares written down as worthless at a later date. Probably won't sit well with the IRS.

Good Luck!
