Often IB receives information on dividends and return of capital after the consolidated 1099 is issued. If we amend your consolidated 1099 to reflect this new information, we will send you an e-mail alert to let you know that there has been a change. The changed 1099 will be marked “amended” with the date.  Please check periodically and reprint your latest consolidated 1099 when you prepare your taxes.
