The 1099-DIV/B form is a combination of two different tax forms that are often consolidated and sent to you as one form. The 1099-DIV reports on dividends you earned on your investments, and the 1099-B lists any money you made or lost when you withdrew money from your Acorns investment account.
When you withdraw money from your account, we must sell holdings in your portfolio. If your investments gained in value, you may be taxed on those gains.

Below, you can find information on what the 1099-DIV/B tax form is and why you might receive it.
Who receives a 1099-DIV/B form?
If any of the following apply to you, you'll receive a 1099-DIV/B:
- You received more than $10 in dividends in the previous year. Dividends are periodic payouts of earnings that some stocks and funds share with their investors — like a little bonus on top of any regular returns. Acorns automatically reinvests dividends for you in your portfolio, but you may still be taxed on them. You can check to see what dividends you received by visiting the “Recent Activity” section of your Acorns Invest and Early accounts.
- You withdrew from your Acorns Invest or Early account or sold some of your investments for more than $20 last year. When you sell an investment for a profit, we call that a capital gain, and it might be taxed by the IRS. You can learn more about capital gains tax here.
- There were rebalances in one or more of your Acorns investing accounts.
