Preliminary Tax Statements for 1099 Consolidated Forms

To assist those account holders who receive late tax information from issuers, Janney implemented the Preliminary Tax Form.

Types of securities which traditionally report late or reallocate their income often include:

  • Certain Mutual Funds and Unit Investment Trusts (UITs)
  • Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
  • Widely Held Fixed Investment Trusts (WHFITs)
  • Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) and Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs)

If your account holds certain securities that haven’t finalized their taxability by the time 1099 Consolidated Forms are produced, you’ll be able to access a preliminary copy of your 1099 form online around February 18th.

Find which holdings don't yet have finalized tax information


This Preliminary Tax Statement also includes a special page which denotes which of your account holdings don’t have finalized taxability. Summary and detail pages of the Statement are watermarked to ensure account holders are aware they are still waiting on final tax information, so the Preliminary Statement should not be used to file completed tax returns. Those account holders who have a Preliminary Statement produced for the 2020 Tax Year will still receive their official 1099-Consolidated Form in early March.
