when does robinhood send out tax forms

Robinhood typically makes tax forms (like consolidated 1099s) available in late January through mid‑February, with most users seeing them by around February 15 in the app’s “Tax Documents” section.

When does Robinhood send out tax forms?

For a typical tax year:

  • Robinhood usually releases tax forms in late January or early February.
  • Many users can access their 1099s by the end of January , but Robinhood and tax guides often point to mid‑February (around February 15) as the practical “ready by” date.
  • If you still don’t see anything by the end of February , you’re generally advised to contact Robinhood support to check for issues or corrected forms.

These forms cover things like stock trades, dividends, interest, and sometimes crypto, which you need to report on your tax return.

How you actually get your forms

You don’t usually get a paper form in the mail by default; you pull them yourself:

  • Open the Robinhood app or website and go to the “Tax Documents” or “Statements & History / Tax documents” area.
  • Download the consolidated 1099 (which can include 1099‑B, 1099‑DIV, 1099‑INT in one file).
  • If you need a paper copy, you can request one through customer support.

Once available, you can upload or import the file into tax software like TurboTax or share it with your tax professional.

What if your situation is special?

Robinhood’s timing is similar, but the exact form can differ:

  • U.S. investors : Usually receive a consolidated 1099 package (including 1099‑B for trades).
  • Non‑U.S. / W‑8BEN users : Often receive Form 1042‑S instead of a 1099, mainly reporting U.S.‑source dividends and certain interest.

Even if you don’t get a 1099 (for example, very low activity, or nonresident status), you may still need your transaction history for your local tax return.

Key dates to keep in mind (typical year in the U.S.)

  • Robinhood 1099 available: Late January–mid February.
  • IRS individual filing deadline: usually April 15 (or next business day if it falls on a weekend/holiday).
  • Corrected 1099s (if needed): sometimes issued late February through March.

So in practice, plan to check your Robinhood account for tax forms starting in late January, expect them no later than mid‑February, and follow up with support if nothing shows by the end of February.
