How To File Form 1099-B By The Deadline
It’s been rather hectic around here at TaxBandits the last few days tackling the major January 31 deadline. Our support team has been working extremely hard to process and mail thousands of forms to recipients across the U.S.
Now that we’ve made it through the first major deadline of the year, we’re keeping the ball rolling and are preparing for the next filing deadline at the middle of this month.
Did you know that recipient copies of Form 1099-B must be mailed out by February 15, 2018?
Form 1099-B is used to report proceeds from broker and barter exchange transactions. These types of transactions are sales that are made by other parties in the standard course of a trade or business that is overseen by the broker reporting on Form 1099-B.
When reporting to the IRS, brokers must limit their transactions to only one per Form 1099-B.

Filing Form 1099-B
Once you’ve gathered all of the necessary information, you can start the filing process by creating or signing in to your TaxBandits account. Start a Form 1099-B return and then add payer details, recipient details, and transaction details.
After these details have been added you will review your order and select if you’d like your recipient forms mailed for you. To complete the filing process, you will simply add credit card details for the one-time transmittal fee and e-file Form 1099-B directly with the IRS.
