A 2021 Consolidated 1099 Tax Statement will be issued if you received dividends totaling at least $10 or interest totaling at least $10 or if you received any gross proceeds.1  Baird will distribute 2021 Consolidated 1099 Tax Statements2 in three waves.

The date you receive your Tax Statement depends on the holdings in your account. Deadlines have been extended into 2022 for many investment products providing post year-end tax adjustments to Baird. This may include debt instruments, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and unit investment trusts. 

We anticipate the majority of Tax Statements will be mailed on or before February 15 (referred to as Wave I). Certain Tax Statements will not be mailed in Wave I if Baird has not received year-end tax information adjustments prior to the processing deadline.

Tax Statements not mailed in Wave I will be mailed in Wave II if year-end tax information adjustments have been received and processed prior to the Wave II mailing deadline of March 1.

All remaining Tax Statements will be mailed in Wave III by March 15. Generally, accounts holding Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs), Widely Held Fixed Investment Trusts (WHFITs) and/or securities that have late reporting adjustments (e.g., unit investment trusts) will receive a Tax Statement mailed in Wave III.

Cost Basis Legislation -  What You Should Know

Cost Basis Legislation that began in 2011 requires Baird to report adjusted cost basis to the IRS on Form 1099-B (Gross Proceeds) when Covered securities are sold, redeemed or exchanged in taxable (i.e., reportable) accounts.1 Cost basis and the applicable adjustments are an important part of accurately reporting capital gains and losses when filing income tax returns because they directly impact your taxable income. Your income tax return(s) must reflect the amounts Baird reports on your tax statements since the IRS will compare your income tax return to what is reported by Baird. If adjustments to the amounts reported by Baird are necessary, refer to IRS Instructions for Form 8949. You should also reconcile any differences and maintain supporting documentation accordingly.4 Please refer to  "Cost Basis Legislation – What You Should Know" for additional information.

1A 2021 Tax Statement will be issued if your taxable account meets or exceeds any of the IRS minimum thresholds as follows: (a) $10 or more of dividends, capital gain distributions, nondividend distributions, corporate interest, treasury interest, tax-exempt interest/dividends, original issue discount, treasury original issue discount, market discount or substitute payments, (b) $600 or more of any cash liquidation distributions, royalty distributions or other income distributions, (c) at least one gross proceeds transaction, (d) any federal backup withholding, (e) any state withholding, or (f) any foreign tax paid.

2Taxable (i.e., reportable) accounts will receive applicable IRS Forms 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-OID, 1099-B, and 1099-MISC in one consolidated Tax Statement.

3The March 1 and March 15, 2022, mailing dates are based on a 30-day extension from February 15 granted by the IRS and are intended to reduce the number of corrected Tax Statements you may receive. 

4There may be instances when the information you report to the IRS differs from the information reported by Baird. You must be familiar with tax return reporting rules and be able to verify the differences. Wash sales are an example of a transaction that may cause differences between information reported to the IRS by Baird. You are not allowed to claim losses when reporting wash sales, though the disallowed amount must be reported to the IRS. Baird will identify wash sales within a given account, but it is your responsibility to identify wash sales that are a result of trades across different accounts at Baird or other financial institutions where you hold accounts. All gains from wash sales are also reported to the IRS.
