7. How do return of principal payments affect my cost basis when I sell mutual funds?
A return of principal (or return of capital) reduces your basis in your mutual fund shares. Unlike a dividend or a capital gain distribution, a return of capital is a return of part of your investment (cost). However, basis cannot be reduced below zero. Once your basis reaches zero, any return of principal is captial gain and must be reported on Form 1040 Schedule D.
