1099s in January and late February?

Indianrock · Post by **Indianrock** » Wed Jan 13, 2021 11:46 am

I got an email talking about holding off filing taxes due to Vanguard 1099s coming in two waves.
We did convert to their new platform last year but just have one brokerage ( taxable) account. We do only mutual fund investing, all at Vanguard. Since there was no RMD last year, I'm thinking the first, normal 1099 Dividend, coming in January, should be all I need to wait for. ???

If you converted to the brokerage account after March, you will get two 1099 forms - one for the fund only platform and one for the brokerage. I tend to get the brokerage 1099 the second week in February. If you received dividends or capital gains from the mutual fund platform, they will only be accounted for with the 1099 for the mutual fund platform. All fund distributions after conversion will be on the brokerage account 1099.

The taxable account, in one mutual fund, was actually already a brokerage account prior to 2020. But on the old "platform." All other funds are mutual fund Traditional IRAs.

There was no "old platform" brokerage account. The old platform is the mutual fund account that has no brokerage. If you have a brokerage account and you converted (or combined) into a brokerage account, you may well get two sets of tax documents.

When I took my first RMD a few years ago, a Vanguard advisor suggested putting it into what he called a "brokerage" account, which we knew would be taxable. We took that step then.
Everything else, then and now, is in Traditional IRA Vanguard mutual funds -- so no 1099 Div on those.
Unfortunately, the new platform change last year used the same adjective "brokerage."
In any event, I can wait until the end of February to file, just in case.

I was able to download one 1099 consolidated today, so it looks like tax submission will have to wait until 2/15 since I may get a Wave 2.

IRS isn’t accepting returns until mid Feb anyway. Most software isn’t ready.
