AEP Quarterly Dividends & Cost Basis Information
(Dividends are paid on or about March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10 to shareholders of record on or about February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10, respectively)
Prior to 1971, Dividends were 100% Taxable. For dividends 1971 and after, see the Tax Status of Dividends table below.
Cash Quarterly Dividends were paid on the common stock as follows:
Since 1983, all cash dividends have been fully taxable for federal income tax purposes (see following paragraph for certain DRP exceptions). In the unlikely event that a portion of the dividends in any future year would be reported as non-taxable for federal income tax purposes, shareholders will be notified.
Shareholders in the AEP Dividend Reinvestment Plan are reminded that, if they elected to exclude dividends on qualified AEP shares up to the $750 (or $1,500 joint return) limit, the tax basis of such shares is zero. This is true for years 1982 through 1985 only.
