There’s no wait, worry or wondering about your dividend check when you choose to have it deposited electronically into your checking or savings account.

Electronic deposits go directly into your specified account the same day dividends are paid. You’ll save time and eliminate the risk of your check being lost, stolen or misplaced.

There is no charge for electronic deposit.

Stock acquired prior to January 1, 2011 is considered noncovered and does not require cost basis reporting. However, you can obtain the average trade price of your stock (high and low price on date of purchase) on MarketWatch. Data goes back to January 1989.

NetBasis Individual Investors has a service that you can use to obtain your cost basis information. You will need to provide the following to obtain the report: Dates and number of shares purchased, acquired, or inherited, along with any dates and quantities of shares sold.

Important information about protecting your Alliant Energy Corporation stock from escheatment:

Alliant Energy Corporation is required to “escheat” (report and transfer to a state unclaimed property division) your shares in Alliant Energy Corporation and/or uncashed dividend checks if they are considered abandoned property under relevant state law. Several factors might cause your shares and/or dividend checks to be considered abandoned property, such as: returned mail, lack of contact with our transfer agent (EQ Shareowner Services) on an annual basis, or uncashed checks. Once your shares and/or dividend funds have been escheated, you will need to file a claim with the relevant state for the return of your property.

What can you do to help prevent the escheatment of your shares/dividends? Maintain activity on your account via annual communication with EQ Shareowner Services either by phone, mail, email, or by logging into your shareowner account on their website at shareowneronline.com to verify your account information. In some states, voting your proxy also counts as contact for unclaimed property purposes. Please be sure to keep your address up to date and promptly cash all dividend and sale proceeds checks.

Did you receive a letter from EQ Unify? The letter is legitimate. It is legally-required due diligence to contact shareowner accounts with no shareowner-initiated activity for at least three years. Dividend reinvestment or ACH deposit of cash dividends is not considered shareowner-initiated activity.

To keep your account active, please call EQ Shareowner Services Customer Care at 1-800-356-5343 immediately. Provide your account number and let the representative know you are calling to make contact and keep your account active.

Moving forward, you will need to make contact annually to keep your account active. Other forms of shareowner-initiated activity include an additional voluntary cash contribution and submitting an account authorization form to make updates to your account (e.g., banking information, automatic investments, change dividend reinvestment election, update address, sign into your account online).
