What happens if it is February 25, 2009 and you still have not received your 1099B or any word that it is going to be sent later.

Kristine,
I work at a company called FileLater, which helps individuals and businesses easily file for tax extensions online. In just a few minutes, you can get 6 more months to finish your taxes. It doesn’t seem right that the IRS would shrink our filing window with delays like this… then again, I’m shocked the California filers are getting IOUs on state tax returns!

I wish. As a tax preparer, I’m not happy about my tax season being “shortened” like that. I know I’ll really be feeling those two weeks we lost by the end of the season.

If the brokerage firms have until February 17 to mail out 1099 forms, shouldn’t taxpayers have until April 30 (instead of the 15th) to file their returns?
