Tax Form Availability
Our goal is to provide you with accurate and timely tax information. To help us accomplish this goal, we make sure we've received and processed all relevant information before making your tax forms available.
The 2016 tax deadline has been extended
Taxpayers have until Tuesday, April 18 to file 2016 tax returns because of the April 17 Emancipation Day holiday in Washington DC.

S-Corps that sold a covered security will receive both a 1099-B and an Informational Tax Statement.

Why some forms might not be available until after the IRS deadline
We believe it is important to post tax forms after we have received all anticipated information. Sometimes issuers (e.g., the company or municipality offering securities for sale to investors) are unable to send the final information in time for us to meet IRS deadlines. In such cases, we request a 30-day extension to mail tax information for assets that do not provide final information until after the February 15 initial deadline. Waiting for final information allows us to send you one correct form, instead of multiple versions, which could result in you having to amend your return.
Why you may not receive a tax form for a small amount
For 1099-DIV and 1099-INT, Fidelity follows the IRS rule de minimis (i.e., not enough to be considered). If the income on the tax form is less than $10.00, we don't mail a tax form or report the income to the IRS. However, we post the form online and notify you by email. When you view these forms online, you'll see a watermark and a label on the top right of the form saying "de minimis".
Note: There are exceptions to this rule. If you sold shares or had tax withholding for any amount and/or if foreign taxes were paid, we will mail you a tax form.
