Broker-dealers can request a 30-day extension of time when they have reason to believe they will not have all the information needed in time to produce an accurate form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schwab&#8217;s priority is ensuring that clients&#8217; 1099 forms are delivered as quickly as possible\u2014and more importantly, accurately. To limit corrections, Schwab takes advantage of the 30-day extension so we can capture the majority of mutual fund and REIT income reclassifications before sending you your form(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Encourage Everyone to Upload your other Tax Documents to us Now, so that we will be able to complete your Tax Filing once your 1099 Arrives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fletcher-watching-concrete-trucks-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"fletcher watching concrete trucks\" class=\"wp-image-4927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fletcher-watching-concrete-trucks-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fletcher-watching-concrete-trucks-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fletcher-watching-concrete-trucks-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cookco.us\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fletcher-watching-concrete-trucks.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grandson Fletcher watching the concrete trucks pour our parking lot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Parking Lot Project is in the Final Stages<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we are buzzing with activity inside the office, there has been a lot of activity outside.
