Yes! But which tax forms you receive will depend on what kind of account you have with us.
Acorns Invest & Acorns Early
If you meet IRS minimum reporting requirements, we will email you with the status of your 1099 tax form in February. We’d love to send them earlier, but some of the ETFs that were in your portfolio don’t report the information we need to complete your 1099 form until February.
Wait. What’s a 1099 form?
The 1099 form lists important information like any money you made when you withdrew money from your Acorns account(s). When you withdraw money from your account(s), we must sell holdings in your portfolio. If your investments gained in value, you may be taxed on those gains. The form also notes any money you may have made from account rebalances, dividends, referral bonuses or Earn Rewards. We report the information on your 1099 form to you and the IRS.
How will I get it?
We’ll email a link to your 1099 form to the email address in your Acorns profile. You can also access it using our web app or mobile browser, even if you’ve closed your Acorns account. Please log in here and select 'Tax Reports' from the “Statements” dropdown menu.
What do I do with my 1099 form?
If you receive a 1099 form, you may be responsible for reporting the information it contains to the IRS.
