Important Tax Form Dates

Tax documents for your accounts will begin generating in mid-January.

Delayed 1099 Forms

In an effort to limit the number of corrected 1099 Forms typically mailed each year the IRS has granted an extension for the initial mailing of these tax documents. As a result, National Financial Services (NFS) has until March 6 to mail your form.

  • Your Form 1099 will reflect the most up-to-date and accurate accounting of your investment income for tax filing purposes. It is not uncommon for some ordinary dividends to be reclassified as capital gains or qualified dividends at a later date. Sending the Form 1099 later may prevent some filers from having to refile because they receive a corrected Form 1099.
  • Your chance of receiving two 1099s—one original and a corrected one later on—will be reduced. This should help ensure that you will not have to refile your tax return.

Accessing Your Tax Form

If you are enrolled in e-notification, you will receive an email notifying you that your tax forms are ready to view. If you are not enrolled in e-notification, your form will be mailed within five business days of online posting.

In both cases, once issued, you may access an electronic version of your tax forms, (click here for a video tutorial), in Investor360°® under Statements & Documents > Tax Reporting > Most Recent.

Tax Form Mailing Dates

Our partner, National Financial Services (NFS), will post and mail consolidated 1099 tax forms in four waves, outlined in the table below. The dates below are when your tax form will be available in Investor360°. They will be mailed five to seven days after they are posted online. To view your tax forms sooner, sign up for Investor360° here.
