How many tax documents should I expect to receive?

When tax season comes around, you’ll receive documents in January and/or February for your Treasury Account as required by law. If you earned $10 or more in interest income during the calendar year, you will receive a 1099-INT and will have to report that income on your tax return. If you earned less than $10 in interest in your Treasury Account, we will not provide tax documents since you are not required to report interest income of less than $10 to the IRS. We will also be providing you with Form 1099-B showing the trades that have occurred in your brokerage account and the resulting gains and losses.
