What is amortized premium and how does Fidelity calculate it?
If you did not make the required elections, your gain or loss is the difference between your purchase price (as adjusted for wash sales and other required adjustments, if any) and your proceeds at disposition, making no premium adjustments. These rules apply to securities issued at par and to OID securities acquired on the secondary market at price greater than their maturity value. Fidelity calculates amortized premium (and makes corresponding adjustments to the cost basis it provides) using the yield-to-maturity method. For tax-exempt securities, amortization of premium is required and is not deductible from taxable income. For taxable bonds, a tax election may be required in order to amortize premium, and the current year's amortized premium may be deductible from taxable income. The amortized premium amounts and adjusted cost basis Fidelity provides may not reflect all adjustments necessary for tax reporting purposes. It may not be applicable if you have not made an appropriate tax election or if you are using an alternative amortization calculation method. Review prior adjustments that you have made, and consult your tax advisor and IRS Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses , for additional information.

If you elected an alternative amortization calculation method, the acquisition premium amount Fidelity calculates may not be applicable.

Review prior calculations and adjustments you have made and consult your tax advisor and IRS Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses , for additional information.

Generally, any person in a trade or business who receives more than $10,000 in cash in a single transaction or in related transactions must file a Form 8300. By law, a "person" is an individual, company, corporation, partnership, association, trust or estate.
What's cash
For Form 8300 reporting, cash includes coins and currency of the United States or any foreign country. It's also cash equivalents that include cashier's checks (sometimes called a treasurer's check or bank check), bank drafts, traveler's checks or money orders with a face amount of $10,000 or less that a person receives for:

When to file Form 8300
A person must file Form 8300 within 15 days after the date the person received the cash. If a person receives multiple payments toward a single transaction or two or more related transactions, the person should file Form 8300 when the total amount paid exceeds $10,000.
How to file
A person can file Form 8300 electronically using the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network's BSA E-Filing System. Those who file many forms may find the batch e-filing option helpful. E-filing is free, quick and secure. Filers will receive an electronic acknowledgement of each submission.

Why is there a difference between what is reported in my Fidelity statements and what is reported in my Informational Tax Reporting Statement?
These requirements differ in certain respects from the manner in which Fidelity reports to you through monthly, quarterly, and year-end statements. For example, while the IRS requires sales transactions to be reported based on the trade date (as reflected in your Informational Tax Reporting Statement), your Fidelity statements reflect sales based on the settlement date. In addition, following IRS requirements, we report the mutual fund distributions declared as payable to shareholders of record in October, November, or December 2012, and paid prior to February 1, 2013, in the 2012 Informational Tax Reporting Statement.
What are the new IRS cost basis reporting regulations?
In accordance with the new IRS rules, Fidelity has begun reporting cost basis for certain covered securities on Forms 1099-B (Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions) for brokerage accounts, beginning with Tax Year 2011 (printed and mailed in January - February 15, 2012). The IRS Form 1099-B is part of the non-exempt Fidelity Tax Reporting Statement and is also part of the information that we are required to report to the IRS. Your Informational Tax Reporting Statement reflects similar changes, because it presents tax information in a format similar to a statement for a non-exempt account. Whereas in past years certain information appeared on either the Informational Tax Reporting Statement or on the (1099) Tax Statement, but not on both, this is no longer the case. As a result, we also include your information, reported on the 1099 Tax Statement, on the Informational Tax Statement. This is a change from past years. We only report 1099 Tax Statement information to the IRS, even if it also appears on Informational Tax Reporting Statement.
How is accrued interest on bond purchases reported in this Informational Tax Reporting Statement?
