REIT Tax-Equivalent Distribution
This calculator will estimate the tax-equivalent distribution (TED) for an investment in a real estate investment trust (REIT). Investments in REITs are not tax free, but rather may be partially tax-deferred. TED, as set forth in this calculator, measures what an investor would have to earn on a fully taxable investment in order to match the distribution generated when a portion of a REIT's distribution represents return of capital (ROC). This calculator shows a REIT's hypothetical distribution and how ROC impacts tax equivalent distribution.

A real estate investment trust (REIT) is any corporation, trust or association that acts as an investment agent specializing in real estate and real estate mortgages (Code Sec. 856 ¶ 26,500). REITs may escape corporation taxation because, unlike ordinary corporations, they are entitled to claim a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders against their ordinary income and net capital gains. An organization entity qualifies as a REIT if it makes an election to be treated as such by filing a tax return on Form 1120-REIT and it meets certain requirements as to ownership and organization, source of income, investment of assets, and distribution of income to shareholders.
REIT can be defined as real estate investment trust and sometimes called Òreal estate stockÓ. REITs are corporations that own and manage a portfolio of real estate properties and mortgages. Anyone can buy shares in a publicly traded REIT.
The trust can qualify if it sells a property and wants to buy another. The individuals who own shares in the REIT cannot use section 1031 to defer the taxes on their income or other gains from the trust.
Many REITs, particularly the ones that are filing for bankruptcy, operate using large amounts of leverage. When the asset values (real estate) are decreasing in value rapidly, the large amounts of leverage can cause the REIT to have their liabilities outweight their assets (often illiquid) which leaves zero value to the equity. In this case it may be particularly unlikely that you will receive anything from the bankruptcy but you will need to follow the ruling from the bankruptcy court to know for sure.
