The information below will help Janney clients plan for the preparation of 2011 taxes.

Important Tax Form Information for Janney Clients: Tax Year 2011

Janney Montgomery Scott (Janney) provides clients with a number of required tax forms and statements related to their account(s). The information provided below will assist you in planning for tax season and the preparation of your taxes.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has changed the deadline for delivering most IRS Forms 1099 from January 31 to February 15 of each year. 

• Janney plans to mail Consolidated 1099 Tax Statements in February, 2012. Please ensure that you have received the required tax forms for each account that may have taxable activity before beginning to complete your 2011 tax forms for the IRS.

• Please use the tax forms that Janney sends to you for the preparation of your income tax return(s), rather than the Income and Distribution totals on your December account statement.

• Janney will send any amended 1099 Forms to clients as revised information is received from the issuers. Amended forms are typically mailed between March 1 and April 2.

• We strongly encourage you to wait as long as possible before preparing your 2011 tax returns. We recommend consulting with your professional tax advisor to understand how this may apply to your individual situation.

To assist in planning for the preparation of your 2011 taxes, we have created a schedule of the forms and statements Janney will mail to you over the coming months, provided below. You will receive only those forms in the table that are appropriate for the type of activity in each of your accounts.  

In addition, we have prepared a summary of the IRS-required cost basis reporting changes you will see on the 1099-B section of your Consolidated Tax Statement. This summary is also available from your Financial Advisor.

Should you have questions regarding the tax documents we provide, please contact your Financial Advisor. Tax preparation questions should be directed to your professional tax advisor.
