The information below will help you plan for your 2009 tax filings. 
IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION FOR OUR CLIENTS

Tax planning is an important part of the overall investment process. Janney provides you with a number of required tax planning forms and statements related to your account(s) with us. The information below should be of assistance as you gather and plan for the tax planning season.

  • Consolidated 1099 tax statements will be mailed to our clients over a period of time beginning January 20, 2010 through approximately February 26, 2010. If you have multiple brokerage accounts, you may receive 1099 forms as early as mid-to-late January, but may not receive 1099s for all of your accounts until mid-to-late February. Please ensure that you have received the required tax forms for each account (that may have taxable activity) before beginning to complete your 2009 tax forms for the IRS.
  • In some instances, we will mail 1099s later than February 1, 2010 in order to capture as much data as possible from certain investment products. These include mutual funds, unit investment trusts and other complex investments. We delay these 1099s in order to limit the need for amended forms, thereby providing you with the most accurate data we can from the issuers prior to you creating your tax return. Amended 1099 forms will be sent to clients as revised information is received from the issuers.
  • In some cases, the income and distribution totals on your December account statement do not represent the amounts to be reported to the IRS. Many distributions on Form 1099-DIV are re-classified after year-end. We strongly urge you to wait as long as possible before preparing your returns. We recommend consulting with your professional tax advisor to explain how this may apply to your individual situation.

To assist you in planning for your 2009 taxes, we have created the following schedule of the various forms and statements Janney will mail to you over the coming months. Any amended forms are typically mailed between March 1 and April 2. You will receive only those forms below that are appropriate for the type of activity in each of your accounts.
