Forms that report a payment or transaction to the IRS. You often receive these rather than file them, and the IRS matches them against your return.
Before you file
Always download the current revision directly from IRS.gov. Forms are revised between tax years, and filing on a superseded version is a common cause of processing delays.
If this form is part of resolving a balance, an audit or a collection notice, the way it is completed matters as much as filing it. The figures on a financial statement or an offer decide what the IRS will accept. We can review your situationbefore anything is submitted, at no cost.
This page summarizes what Form 1099-B is used for and links to the official source. It is not tax advice, and it is not a substitute for the IRS instructions that accompany the form. The current revision and full instructions are on IRS.gov.
