Tax Forms FAQ
When will my tax forms be available?
Why didn’t I receive a tax form?
- Online delivery: If you are enrolled in online delivery, you generally do not receive mailed copies. Instead, you receive email notifications.
- Retirement accounts: Dividends and gains in IRAs or 401(k)s are generally not reported on a 1099-DIV because they are tax-deferred.
- Low earnings: If you earned less than $10 in dividends or gains for 1099-DIV, or interest for 1099-INT, and had no withholding, Fidelity and Schwab may not issue a form.
What is a corrected 1099?
A corrected 1099 reflects updated information received after the original form was issued. Revisions are clearly marked. Schwab does not provide expected dates for corrected forms.
Why did I receive a 1099 after a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)?
Form 1099 reports distributions regardless of tax treatment. QCDs are still reported and must be handled appropriately on your tax return.
Why did I receive Form 5498?
Form 5498 reports contributions, rollovers, conversions, and year-end values for retirement accounts. It is informational for your records and is not required to file your tax return.
