The part your broker doesn’t show
Many option-income funds pay you mostly return of capital: a cutting from your own bush, not a berry. It isn’t taxed when it lands, but it lowers your cost basis, so the tax waits for the day you sell.
Your brokerage shows the payout. Gooseberry shows what it’s made of, and keeps your real cost basis lot by lot using the issuers’ own tax filings.
SPYI’s Oct 23, 2026 payout was $0.5087 a share. By the issuer’s estimate, 99% of it was return of capital.
| Fund | Per share | Return of capital |
|---|---|---|
| SPYI | $0.5087 | 99%* |
| QQQI | $0.6343 | 100%* |
| MSTY | $0.1630 | 14%* |
| JEPI | — | No figure |
* Estimated from each fund’s 19a-1 notice. Final figures come from the issuer’s Form 8937 or year-end tax statement after the tax year. All funds →
