Due to recent federal legislation, the deadline for brokerage firms to mail 1099 Composite tax forms has been extended from January 31 to February 15.
As a result, your 2008 1099 Composite will be mailed in mid-February 2009.
I was looking forward to getting my taxes done early this year so I can get my return faster. If you haven’t received your 1099 from a broker yet, this is probably why.
I used Turbo Tax to file my return this year again, and I’m all finished, I’m just waiting for this last form to complete it.

Today is the last day, if you don’t receive your final tax form today, I would call your broker.

I think we’re going to try Turbo Tax this year. Last year, I claimed the Homebuyer Tax Credit so I dropped $350 on a CPA. I am willing to pay for an expert but that was just too much. The time and energy it takes to find a reputable CPA at a reasonable price is not worth it to me this year.

To prepare taxes even if is a profetional like H&R block company they have to use a software, the difference, is if you send your taxes online, the IRS office give you 60 days to pay before they give you a penality to pay, and if you send by regular mail you have to be sure to send it before tax season finish, H&R Block always prepare taxes in a software but if you decide mail it just say to the proffesitonal and he/she has to print a copy for you to send by mail, no online, or you can go to an IRS office and some office prepare free taxes, even the comunity office. And is not easy do it online because you have to know alot about taxes. Another advice go to other tax office nothing bad hapen believe me I prepare taxes too.
