Tracking ROC on US ETFs as an Australian — how are people managing this?

I have quite a few holdings that have ROC (e.g. QQQI, SPYI, YMAX, etc) and I find it hard tracking the ROC because we don't get a 1099-B that US people do.

The 19a notices come out weeks or months behind the actual distribution so you're constantly waiting to find out what the ROC% even was.

Then I have to go back and update everything in ShareSight, confirm each dividend and add a capital return trade for the ROC portion. With weekly payers the backlog just stacks up.

Curious if anyone's actually staying on top of this or if most people are just confirming everything as income and not bothering?

ROC tracking a nightmare....

Anyone else finding the ROC tracking a nightmare?

I hold MSTY, QDTE, YMAG and a few others and sometimes the 19a notices come out weeks or months behind the actual distribution, so you're constantly waiting to find out what the ROC% even was.

I'm using ShareSight and have to manually confirm each dividend then add a capital return trade for the ROC portion, etc. This is annoying with weekly payers the backlog just stacks up.

Curious if anyone's actually staying on top of this or if most people are just confirming everything as income and not bothering?
