1099-DIV

Mar 15, 2013 13 Replies

Well, did you receive any dividends or distributions? If your investments cancelled their dividends in 2012, as many companies hurting for cash have done, they don't need to send you a 1099-DIV. However, if you have received a dividend check in the mail from a brokerage representing your investment, you can login to an account at that brokerage, and print out the necessary documents. Some companies are doing that to save on the cost of postage.

I like tax time. I get plenty of service calls from accountants, enrolled agents, and individuals, trying to do taxes under stress. That's when mistakes and disasters tend to happen. It's a little for disaster season, but in a week or two, I should be quite busy.

because you lost money?

Last year I received a 1099-DIV on March 3rd.

This year I had to send some 1099s and my local IRS office didn't get the forms until the third week of February. They said we got an extension until the end of February to mail them. In other words, I don't know. Mike

Any one have an idea why I didn't receive one, when I have every year since I can remember, except this year.



I hate tax time.

All the dividends were used to pay a rather large consulting fee to Romney who devised a plan by which your investmnet could avoid paying dividends.

No, but I can find some reasons:-

Every time is tax time!

I wouldn't doubt that, I don't our electric company did very well with all the storms we had last year in CT.

Ever since the IRS moved April Fool's Day to the 15th.

Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is enough left over to pay them.

No dividends from that company? Have they been late at times in the past?

In which case one might be lucky that there is no such thing as a NEGATIVE dividend..

Hey, excellent idea!

Instead of simply never distributing a dividend, promising tech companies could raise money by declaring a negative dividend. Either sell before the xd date or fork over the money.

Apparently it has been done:-

Kinda puts a nail in the whole concept of "limited liability" in a corporation, no?

I think your potential losses are still limited to the amount of your investment.
