Why are corrected 1099-DIV forms issued ?

Form 1099-DIV is published with the classification or tax character of the dividends at the time of publication.  Issuers may make adjustments or corrections following the required 1099 issue date.  IB is required to re-issue a corrected 1099 with the changes when known to both you and the IRS.

Notification will be sent to you if a corrected 1099 is issued and posted in Account Management. Consult your tax advisor for further guidance.
