Q: Why am I getting a 1099? I thought my distributions were tax free now that we have the Sealaska Settlement Trust?
A: The Sealaska Settlement Trust was created by a vote of shareholders in June of 2021.
  • Distributions from Sealaska operations and the Marjorie V. Young (MVY) investment fund are tax free.
  • ANSCA Section 7(j) payments to shareholders (Class B, C) will remain taxable income. Urban and At-Large shareholders (class B, C) will receive a 1099 tax form for 7(j) payments.
  • For more information on the Sealaska Settlement Trust, click here.
Q. Why do I not have any 1099 information reported for the year?
A: Shareholders who have ONLY Class A, D, or E stock receive their dividends through the Settlement Trust or the Marjorie V. Young (MVY) Investment Fund, both of which are tax free. Shareholders of these stock classes will not receive a 1099 and do not need to report their dividends to the IRS.
