RE: 2001 YEAR-END TAX REPORTING -- REVISIONS TO 2001 PRIMARY UNIFORM FILE
LAYOUT
The Institute previously distributed the final “primary” uniform file layout to be used by
regulated investment companies to report 2001 year-end tax information to brokers and banks.1
The 2001 primary layout contains the information required to prepare IRS Forms 1099 for
shareholders. To facilitate use of the 2001 primary layout, we have revised the attached
electronic version to include the required computation formulas in an Excel format. No other
changes were made to the 2001 primary layout. The revised 2001 primary layout is available on
the Institute’s members-only internet home page at http://members.ici.org.
Questions regarding year-end tax reporting may be directed to Deanna Flores of the
Institute’s Legal Department (at dflores@ici.org or 202/371-5436) or to Justine Phoenix of the
Institute’s Operations Department (at justine@ici.org or 202/326-5850).
