Mutual Fund Taxes To Break Records

According to CNN Money, major mutual fund companies have begun estimating this year’s taxable distributions and the taxes are set to break records yet again. Last year their tax bills totaled $23.8 billion, which was the largest since 2000, but this year’s total is expected to be over $24 billion. One reason for the ever-growing tax bill is the past years "wild market," with plunging stocks and a soft housing market.
