Important Tax Documents 2023

What tax forms will I need from my Charles Schwab accounts?

When does the IRS start processing my return?

The IRS will began accepting and processing 2022 tax year returns on Monday, January 29, 2024.

When will I get my Tax Forms

Charles Schwab has a personalized 1099 Dashboard that provides expected dates for your 1099- Composite. You can access this dashboard by logging into the Schwab Alliance Website. You will get an automatic prompt directing you to this dashboard, however you can also locate it under the Statements tab.

Why do corrected 1099 forms occur?

A corrected 1099 is generated when a mutual fund reallocates or reclassifies distributions. When this happens Charles Schwab is required to generate new 1099’s no matter how small the change might be.

What should I do if I get a corrected 1099?

Let your tax preparer know and make sure they have a copy of the corrected 1099.

What happens if I get a corrected 1099 and I have already filed my taxes?

Seek the guidance of your tax professional but you may have to file an amended tax return.

How will I receive my tax forms?

This is based on your mailing preferences with Charles Schwab and Level Financial Advisors.

If you signed up for E-delivery, then you will not get a physical statement in the mail. Schwab will send you an email letting you know when your tax documents are ready.

What do I do if I can’t find my tax forms or I am not sure if I should have one?

Please log into your Charles Schwab Account through the Schwab Alliance Website to see if any tax documents are available. If you can’t find the information you are looking for, please call us.

Qualified Distributions To Charity (QCD)

If you gifted any amount from your IRA DIRECTLY to charity, then you need to let your tax preparer know that it went directly from your IRA to the charity, as this is will not be reflected on your 1099-R.  Level Financial Advisors will send out a separate confirmation letter for each IRA that used this specific charitable gifting strategy.

In order for the IRA distribution to have been made directly to charity, the check had to come from Schwab and be payable to the qualified charity of your choice.  If the check was made payable to you, then it was a different gifting strategy and may be reflected elsewhere on your tax return.
