GLDUS113 Cliff Meg preferred dividends are attributable to periods totaling less than 367 days, the 60 day holding period discussed herein applies. A dividend is not qualified dividend income to the extent that the Access Fund is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. If the Access Fund realizes qualified dividend income, the Access Fund will report to its Limited Partners their respective shares of such income. Notwithstanding the above, a Limited Partner's allocable sham of qualified dividend income will not qualify for the reduced rate to the extent such Limited Partner elects to include such dividend income as investment income for purposes of the investment interest expense deduction discussed below. A Limited Partner's foreign tax credit may be limited to the extent it relates to qualified dividend income taxed at the reduced rates of tax. Dividends-Received Deduction. A portion of income from the Access Fund allocable to corporate Limited Partners may qualify for the "dividends-received deduction." The dividends-received deduction applies to certain dividends received from certain corporations. Medicare Tax. A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax generally is imposed on the net investment income of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. For U.S. individuals. this threshold generally will be exceeded if an individual has adjusted gross income that exceeds $200,000 ($250,000 if married and filing jointly/$125,000 if married and filing separately). For this purpose, net investment income generally is expected to include a Limited Partner's distributive share of the Access Fund's income and net gains, as well as net capital gains attributable to a sale of the Limited Partner's Interests, over deductions properly allocable to such income and net gains.
