This Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2019, in Zelienople, Pa., shows schedule D for form 1040 and instructions printed from the Internal Revenue Service web page that are used for 2018 U.S. federal tax returns.

The headache for investors is a result of how mutual funds are structured and how many times the funds’ managers bought and sold shares through 2018. Because of the way tax laws work, the majority of investors with a U.S. stock mutual fund or ETF received something called a “capital-gains distribution” late last year.
