IBKR will amend and re-issue Form 1099 if a dividend is reclassified or reported as an ordinary dividend and later reclassified by the issuer as a capital gain or qualified dividend. The tax character of the dividend indicates whether the dividend is from taxable or tax-exempt income or is a short-term or long-term gain. You will receive an email notification if there has been a change to Form 1099, and an amended form will be posted in Client Portal and resubmitted to the IRS.  Consult your tax advisor for further guidance.
