Don't Do Your Taxes ... Yet

According to a February 12, 2009 MarketWatch article by Eva Rosenberg, your investment 1099-Bs may still be in the mail. With all the upheaval in the investment industry, the government has given investment firms a Feburay 17 deadline to mail out correct 1099-B forms.

Even if you've received 1099-Bs already, the article recommends waiting to make sure you don't receive a corrected 1099-B. It's no fun to have to amend your taxes!

I hadn't heard this information and figured if I had not heard it, maybe you hadn't either!
